The Independent Brewers Alliance (IBA) saves member brewers money on all kinds of expenses including hops, cans, crowns, kegs, chemicals, hoses, taps, hops, glassware, PPE, all kinds of packaging, office supplies, insurance, employee benefits and more. We do it by leveraging the combined buying power of our members to negotiate long-term savings with leading industry suppliers. We bring the deals to our members. They plug into those that are right for their breweries.
Members can recoup the cost of membership and more with as few as one savings program. If members are not satisfied in their first year, they can leave and get a full refund of their membership costs.
Here's what some our members have to say.
“Membership in the IBA is going to save us $3,100 on our next order of 6-pack carriers – and more than $10,000 over the next year from just that one savings program."
- Dan Barrett, Controller, Upland Brewing Company – 15,000 Barrels
“With the IBA working on my behalf I now have buying power I could only dream of with my current barrelage. This takes the pressure off me to grow barrels to get better pricing.”
- Mike McGarvey, CEO and Founder, 3 Stars Brewing Company – 7,000 Barrels
“The IBA is saving us money on every can – money that we plow right back into our marketing program to keep our business strong and growing.”
- John Haggerty, Brew Master, Warped Wing Brewery – 8,000 Barrels
The Independent Brewers Alliance is the nation's only brewer-owned purchasing co-operative. Its mission is to help craft brewers save money and to thrive in this increasingly competitive landscape, all while maintaining their complete independence. The IBA is 100% owned by its member brewers. Each member is an equal shareholder, and pays annual membership dues. Members also set the direction including who can join, and the programs the IBA develops for its members.
