National Beer Wholesalers Association

Two months until NBWA's 89th Annual Convention & Product Showcase — the beer industry's premier event for distributor leaders and their partners. Join us Oct. 11-14 in Orlando for education, networking and solutions for growing your business.

America's beer distributors bring the world's best beers to you every day. Cheers to good times, great brews and the people who keep them moving 🍻🌎

Happy National IPA Day! Whether you prefer West Coast bitterness, juicy New England hazies or anything in between, it's a great day to enjoy your favorite hoppy beer — delivered fresh by your local beer distributor.

Human trafficking remains a serious threat in communities across America. On World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, we recognize the more than 33,000 beer distributor employees who have completed anti-trafficking awareness training and joined the effort to combat this heinous crime.

As local businesses with employees serving in their communities every day, often in publicly inaccessible locations, beer distributors are uniquely positioned to identify and report signs of human trafficking. That visibility can make a meaningful difference in helping connect victims to support.

NBWA's Distributors Against Human Trafficking program equips these employees with tools to take action. Learn more and join the fight at nbwa.org/trafficking

The World Cup may be coming to an end — but thanks to America’s beer distributors, you can still enjoy global flavors long after the final whistle.

Big business in small beers? NBWA President & CEO Craig Purser is featured in The Wall Street Journal discussing one of the beer industry's notable packaging trends: smaller cans and bottles, known as ponies.

As brewers expand their offerings of smaller package sizes, Purser noted the flexibility this format provides to consumers: "We're bullish on what ponies can add. Consumers don't have to make a 12-ounce decision."
