• Colorado is home to 100 craft brewers spread across the state. These breweries are located in and are a vital part of local communities. Colorado craft brewers contribute financially and culturally to Colorado. Colorado breweries flourish, in large part, due to a strong tier of independent retailers that provides vital access to market.
  

• Independent Colorado retailers promote our local economy, stock many craft beer brands, and offer vital access to market for Colorado craft brewers
  

• Continued access to market is crucial for Colorado craft Brewers and the state's growing beer culture. Many Colorado craft brewers have limited distribution outside of Colorado. Some small, local craft brewers will disappear if access to market is constrained or limited.

The Colorado Brewers Guild (CBG) is comprised of the majority of independent Colorado breweries scattered throughout Colorado, from the skyscrapers of Denver to the skyscraping Rocky Mountains.

The diverse group of CBG brewers has joined together with the common goal of promoting the enjoyment of fresh beers brewed locally by people who live in their communities and have a passion for this ancient art.
