About SIBASIBA PRESENTS THE PROFESSIONAL FACE OF A PROFESSIONAL INDUSTRY PROMOTING THE INTERESTS OF INDEPENDENT BREWERIES SIBA goes about highlighting the interests of beer drinkers and independent breweries in a number of other ways: Politically: SIBA is consulted by governing bodies such as DEFRA, Office of Fair Trading etc. regarding issues relevant to the industry. For example, the Review of Beer Orders, the Review of Duty systems, Drink Driving and the National Alcohol Strategy Promotionally: SIBA actively raises the profile of genuinely independent breweries so as to provide a greater choice of craft beer to the public through the organisation of such events as regional beer festivals and the SIBA National Beer Challenge. Co-operatively: SIBA is divided into regions, which hold regular meetings, where members are able to express their views and concerns. These concerns are taken by regional representatives to the National Council who are then able to address them officially. The SIBA grapevine is highly efficient and is an invaluable tool in encouraging co-operation in such areas as highlighting changes that need to be made on behalf of the beer drinker and the exchange of expertise Professionally: SIBA members sign-up to a series of By-laws and a Code of Practice, which helps ensure that high standards of business practice and beer production are maintained Informatively: SIBA publishes its own magazine every two months. The SIBA Journal carries technical articles covering all aspects of brewing, by expert authors. It also keeps members informed of the Society’s campaigning activities and contains vital industry information Intro | SIBA's role | SIBA Council
The Society of Independent Brewers was
founded in 1980 under the title The Small Independent Brewers
Association (SIBA) to represent the interests of the growing numbers of
independent brewing companies in the UK. It changed its name in 1995 to reflect better the changing aspirations of its members, but maintained its original acronym. SIBA aims to ensure that its members’ products are always of high quality and membership is conditional upon adhering to the Society’s Code of Practice and Bye-Laws. Beer and ale have been traditional and wholesome foods and beverages for well over 2000 years, and many styles are indigenous and unique to the British Isles. SIBA members seek to preserve these traditional styles and their traditional methods of manufacture, whilst at the same time demonstrating the skill of their craft through creativity, invention and innovation.
