The Society of Independent Brewers (South West).
Over the last 10 years SIBA's influence on the brewing scene has grown and grown. No longer a small voice seeking recognition, its views are now increasingly sought after within the industry.
SIBA is represented on national councils, in government department discussions and at all levels where brewing industry interests are debated. We are working with Government Departments on Tax and Excise issues and across Europe with our sister organisations to develop parity of trade and effective quality standards.
