The Brewers Association thanks you 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 Indianapolis. If your beer is not currently distributed in Indiana, you must complete the steps outlined below.
- 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, RTD cocktails, wine, distilled spirits, NA beverages, etc. 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 Indiana, 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. See delivery and dock information below.
The Brewers Association thanks Monarch Distributing Indiana for their support as host distributor to the 2025 Craft Brewers Conference® and BrewExpo America®.
