The Value of Local Guilds (Part 2)

The Value of Local Guilds (Part 2)

PART 2


Beer is local. In our quest for success, the most impactful efforts often start in your brewery’s own backyard. As our industry evolves, there is immense value in having a local guild to advocate for, support, and provide resources to your area’s breweries. This session will explore the fundamentals of starting a local guild from the ground up and strategies for actively engaging its members. Our guests—experienced guild leaders—will share how they’ve united their beer communities, discuss effective fundraising efforts, and provide valuable lessons learned. Whether you’re looking to start a guild or strengthen your existing network, this session will offer practical takeaways to help you harness the power of local collaboration.


This conversation features:

  • Erik Fowler (San Diego Brewers Guild)
  • Karis Roberts (Asheville Brewers Alliance)
  • Matt Rowsell (Long Island Brewers Guild)


Moderator: Andrew Coplon (Craft Beer Professionals/Secret Hopper)
