A historic day in Canada’s craft brewing community. Today in Toronto at the Canadian Brewing Awards and Conference our 10 provinces and 3 territory craft associations announced the formation of the Canadian Craft Brewers Association. CCBA-ACMB represents a growing industry of over 700 small and independent craft breweries and their supplier partners in every province and territory in Canada.
Please review the attached press release CCBA-ACMB-LaunchAnnouncement-PressRelease-Bilingual.
The Board of Directors for the new Association features 15 members, including one to represent each of the ten provincial associations (Ken Beattie from BC Craft Brewers Guild for BC), and one to represent craft brewery members in each of five geographic regions in Canada (Chloe Smith from Townsite Brewing for BC).
More details including a full list of participating organizations and the board members can be found on the CCBA-AMBC website. We will be providing more information in the coming weeks.
