MEMBERSHIP

The IBA has a clear mission: quality independent beer everywhere.

We're her to educate and influence for the Benefit of Australian independent brewers. In our events, programs and campaigns we advocate, lift awareness, ensure quality and drive member value.

The diversity of our sector is both our biggest strength and our biggest challenge. In such a fragmented sector, IBA membership fees are an important investment in the coordination and sustained growth of our sector, Working closely with our members, the IBA plays a critical role in helping to level regulatory playing fields, promote the unique contribution Independent Brewers make to Australian life and ensure our sector works as smart as it does hard.

Please see our payment options available here.
