Who we are
The Independent Brewers Union, aka IndieBrew, is a shared resources platform focused on the future of craft beer. Founded in response to increasingly difficult challenges for small independent breweries, IndieBrew is designed to offer best-in-class professionalization of certain core business functions—including accounting, human resources, and sales—which many brewery owners can’t afford to implement and improve on their own. We seek to establish long-term stability and continued growth for each IndieBrew brand, so these brands can remain independent and continue doing what matters most: telling their unique stories and creating their best products, rather than simply getting by.
IndieBrew members currently include Scofflaw Brewing and Bearded Iris, though we are in active conversations with other breweries about joining the platform in the coming months. This is only the beginning!
STRONGER TOGETHER
WHAT WE DO
IndieBrew is a new entity, and we’re going to do things in a new way. We are committed to changing the industry and envisioning a better future for craft, starting with being better ourselves
For breweries
By combining resources and increasing our scale, we can offer more services not typically available to smaller breweries. Together, we commit to providing industry-leading, safe, and inclusive workspaces grounded in trust, respect, and transparency, where constant learning and growth are our guiding values.
For the teams of IndieBrew brands
we offer financial stability and career opportunities that many small independent breweries simply don’t have the resources to provide on their own.
For consumers & distribution partners
IndieBrew’s combined resources for sales and logistics will offer a larger, more versatile portfolio of products to more places. This means craft beer fans will have easier access to more beers from IndieBrew partners than ever before.
For the community
IndieBrew brands are forces for good. We will intentionally focus on sustainability initiatives by taking the full platform carbon neutral in the coming years. Additionally, through more expansive charitable partnerships we directly and positively impact our communities, our cities, and our region.
Recent charitable partner include: Giving Kitchen, TennGreen Land Conservancy, Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, Southern Environmental Law Center, and Project Drawdown
