The Brewers Association thanks you for sharing your amazing beers with your industry family! Your donations are greatly appreciated. Beer donations for the 2027 conference are not being accepted yet. Check back later for more information!
- 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 NA beers, ciders, kombuchas, seltzers in addition to beer.
- All beverages sent to the conference is considered a donation and leftover beer cannot be returned to the brewer post-conference.
- All products donated to the conference must be under 14% ABV.
- If your beer is NOT distributed in Pennsylvania, please consider sending your donations in bottle/can format(s) to help the BA minimize return shipping costs associated with kegs. One-way kegs are also appreciated.
- ALL donations are due at our host distributor’s warehouse during the dates listed below. Please do not ship your beer early. If this deadline is missed your beer cannot be received directly at the Conference.
Things to Know When Delivering Your Beer:
- Complete our mandatory No Charge Invoice with all necessary info and include it with your shipment. Please do not tape these to your shipment boxes, as the BA needs to save all invoices.
- Please clearly mark your pallets or individual loads as being for the “Craft Brewers Conference” using a 2027 pallet label (coming soon).
- Label each individual case or keg with the specific sponsored location or event (beer station, lounge, or other event) at which it should be served.
- If you are dropping off kegs, they will be returned one of several ways:
- BA Coordinates return with local distributors
- Owner will pick them up at the event.
- Return to sponsor’s booth area after expo close.
- Please be mindful of your movements and patience when delivering your beer. You will be a guest during business hours.
