The National Beer Wholesalers Association (NBWA) is a trade association representing the interests of more than 3,300 licensed, independent beer distributors. Founded in 1938, the organization's purpose is to advocate before Congress and the public. One of its roles is to promote responsibility in the manufacture, distribution, sale and consumption of alcohol. NBWA works to ensure product integrity and effective alcohol regulation. Fun fact: America's beer distributors are part of a system that helps provide approximately 13,000 labels of beer to consumers. Check NBWA's website for cooking tips with beer.
