New Belgium Brewing Company, a 100% employee-owned brewery and maker of Fat Tire Belgian Style Ale, La Folie, Voodoo Ranger IPA, 1554 and other Belgian-inspired beers, began operations in a tiny Fort Collins basement in 1991.  New Belgium takes pride in being a responsible corporate role model with progressive programs such as 100% employee ownership, open book management and a commitment to environmental stewardship.

The Brewers Association is the not-for-profit trade association dedicated to small and independent American brewers, their beers and the community of brewing enthusiasts.

Founded in Pennsylvania in 1996 by brothers John and Chris Trogner, Tröegs Independent Brewing is driven by a sense of adventure and curiosity. From the beginning, our brewery has been built by family, friends and kindred spirits who share a love of great beer. 

Stewards Of Beer is a local Pittsburgh-based craft beer promotions company made up of a team of knowledgeable and passionate craft beer enthusiasts, avid homebrewers, taptenders, Cicerone Program® Certified Beer Servers, and Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) Certified Beer Judges. By having a team of experienced, knowledgeable and RAMP-certified Beer Stewards, they provide safe, exciting, and educational event coverage, and staff coordination for any beer event from tastings to festivals.

Five years ago, brothers Bill and Jim Mitchell's frustrations with homebrewing prompted the duo to create an entirely new beer-brewing process. A few years (and many pints of beer) later, the award-winning PicoBrew Zymatic was born. Zymatic improved the precision, repeatability, and overall quality of the beer-brewing experience and today is used by homebrewers and breweries all over the world.
