THANK YOU VERY MUCH for sharing your amazing beers with your industry family! Your donations are greatly appreciated. The Beer Donation Registration Form is now open. Please use this form to let us know what beers you will be sending to Nashville. If your beer is not currently distributed in Tennessee, we will follow up by sending you a 30 day temporary agreement via our host distributor, Best Brands Inc. No further action will be required beyond this signed agreement.
- Donations will only be accepted from BA professional brewery members that meet the definition of craft.
- If you are not a current BA member brewery but would like to become one, we’d love to have you.
- Breweries are also invited to send their alternative offerings such as ciders, kombuchas, seltzers, sodas, etc. in addition to beer.
- Wine and distilled products are not eligible.
- All beer sent to the conference is considered a donation and leftover beer cannot be returned to the brewer post-conference.
- All beer donated to the conference must be under 10.1% ABV.
- If your beer is NOT distributed in Tennessee, please consider sending your donations in bottle/can format(s) to help the BA minimize return shipping costs associated with kegs.
- Best Brands will provide a 30 day temporary distribution agreement for the donating brewery after you have registered your beers via the BA’s beer donation registration form.
- ALL donations are due at our host distributor’s warehouse. Please do not ship your beer early. If this deadline is missed your beer cannot be received directly at the Conference. See delivery and dock information below.

The Brewers Association thanks Best Brands Incorporated for their support as host distributor to the 2023 Craft Brewers Conference® and BrewExpo America®.
