Industry-leading SIBA British Craft Beer Report to return in 2022 in association with Croxsons The SIBA British Craft Beer Report is to return next year - having been postponed in 2021 due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic – and is due to be launched at BeerX UK in March 2022. Somewhat fittingly, it was at BeerX UK in March 2020 when the report was last published, the week before the country went into National lockdown. The SIBA British Craft Beer Report 2022 is being published in association with Croxsons, who have come on board as the first ever Official Industry Partner. The report will once again pull together the latest data on the independent craft beer market, including academic analysis of the SIBA Members' Survey, newly commissioned consumer research, and a broad range of industry data and reporting, edited by the former Editor of The Publican and current Independent Brewer Editor, Caroline Nodder. SIBA’s CEO James Calder said: “The SIBA British Craft Beer Report is the

SIBA and Croxsons are offering a £1,000 prize draw for all breweries who complete the SIBA Annual Members' survey before the 7th January 2022 and submit production volumes before the 28th February 2022. The results of the SIBA Industry Report Questionnaire 2021/22 - often referred to internally as the SIBA Members' Survey – form a key part of the data for the SIBA British Craft Beer Report and are also used by our Senior Management Team when lobbying Government, or representing your interests in the industry. The last time we did this survey was 2019, having postponed it last year due to Coronavirus, so it's particularly important that as many breweries as possible take the time to complete the survey. As a thank you to our members for completing the survey all of those who submit their response by January 7th 2022 and their production volumes by February 28th 2022 will be entered into a draw for the £1,000 prize, courtesy of our Official Industry Partner Croxsons.
