Brewers' guilds

Brewers' guilds are associations formed by brewers to promote their interests, maintain quality standards, and encourage collaboration within the brewing industry. Historically, these guilds helped regulate brewing practices, set prices, and manage trading rights, ensuring that members adhered to specific quality and safety standards. They often provided a platform for sharing knowledge, resources, and skills among brewers. Today, many brewing guilds focus on advocacy, education, and community engagement, supporting both small and large breweries while promoting craft beer culture and responsible drinking.
