The National Beer Wholesalers Association (NBWA) provides valuable benefits for beer distributors. Through proactive industry affairs initiatives and effective advocacy before government and the public, NBWA represents beer distributors on issues ranging from taxes to regulation, working to promote the value of the American distribution system. NBWA also helps distributors grow their productivity and the effectiveness of their operations, and provides numerous opportunites to network at the beer industry's premier events. For brewers, importers, vendors, consultants and firms that supply services and products directly to licensed beer distributors, NBWA membership provides recognition within the industry, marketing materials, industry studies, insurance and safety programs as well as publications and videos to help build and foster strong relationships with beer distributors.
