- Trade Member - For companies supplying products or services to the brewing industry.
Read on to learn more about each tier, and how to apply to join.

Benefits include:
- Bi-monthly member social meetings (usually held at a different member brewery),
- Industry training opportunities,
- Invitations to trade events and festivals,
- Digital marketing support via the LBA's website and social channels,
- Access to an exclusive member and trade forum,

Not yet fully established, or awaiting licensing?
Breweries still in the process of setting up may apply to join the LBA as Joining Members. This includes breweries:
- That are in the process of acquiring or building their own brewing premises within the M25, and
- That intend to commence brewing within 12 months.
Joining Members will receive the same access and support as Brewery Members, with the exception of voting rights. Once commercial brewing begins, appropriate licences are confirmed, and the annual subscription payment is received, Joining Members will automatically transition to Full Brewery Membership
