Community Supported Beer (CSB)
Community Supported Beer (CSB) is a model where local breweries invite community members to invest in their operations, similar to Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). Participants usually pay a fee upfront, which helps the brewery with production costs, and in return, they receive benefits like fresh beer, exclusive access to special releases, or brewery events over a set period. This model fosters a closer connection between the brewery and its supporters, encourages local entrepreneurship, and helps sustain craft brewing by aligning the interests of both producers and consumers.
