Lobbying Representation — The Guild provides legal and lobbying support for policies which benefit the craft brewing industry in Nebraska. We believe our collective voice is far stronger than our individual voices in affecting change in Nebraska. In recent years, the Guild was influential in passing LB1105 (allowing breweries to distribute to their own taprooms) as well as defending multiple attempts at raising excise taxes in the state. The Guild has a robust legislative agenda on the horizon and hopes to continue to make positive changes to help our breweries find success.
Voting Privileges — Your membership in the Guild allows you to become a voting member to help shape the Guild’s legislative agenda and priorities as well as input on other Guild marketing, event, public relations, and awareness efforts.
Access to Peer Support — all brewery members have access to our Facebook group for collaboration opportunities, sharing of resources, opportunities to ask questions, etc. In addition, we are happy to share via email to our listener any additional questions you may wish to ask the Guild at large.
