The California Craft Brewers Association is excited to announce the launch of the 2017 California Craft Brewing Industry Compensation Study.  This study is a critical resource for breweries to rely on in an era of increased industry growth, increased competition for valuable employees and a growing need for employee retention programs. The final study will be complimentary for all participants and released to CCBA members.
