Kentucky Guild of Brewers

The Kentucky Guild of Brewers is the voice of KY brewers to educate & promote craft beer in the state

The Kentucky Guild of Brewers was organized to provide a unifying voice for the microbrewers and brewpubs of Kentucky. The Guild exists to pursue the following objectives: to act as a singular voice and advocate for the Kentucky brewing industry in all pertinent matters of legislation and governmental administration; to evenly promote all member breweries through the organization of events and pu

blication of media; and to amalgamate the knowledge and economic sway of member breweries. The Guild is organized and operated exclusively for nonprofit purposes.
