Unsure of the provenance of the beer you are drinking?
The 'Assured Independent British Craft Brewer' campaign is run by the Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA), who ensure that any beers which carry the Independent Craft Brewer logo are relatively small, independent and brewing quality beer.
The logo is being used on pumpclips, beer bottles, can labels, and at many beer festivals across the UK, and you can be sure that wherever it appears the beer will have been made by a truly independent craft brewery.
If you're a British brewery and want more information about the logo please click here.

about the assured campaign
There has never been a better time to be a beer drinker in the UK, with more fantastic tasting beer styles being brewed than ever before by a growing number of talented, innovative brewers. However this growth in the independent beer market has not gone unnoticed by the global beer brands, who have begun to buyout previously independent craft breweries, or release their own products marketed as craft.
It's because of this that SIBA launched the 'Assured Independent British Craft Brewer' campaign, to make it easier for beer drinkers to identify beers from truly indepdnent craft brewers. To find out more watch the video below.

Assured Independant British Craft Brewers
The Assured Independent British Craft Brewer seal can only be used by a brewery which:
- Is a brewing member of SIBA and brews quality beer as outlined in SIBA's Handbook
- Is a truly independent brewer who is a sole trader, a partnership, a limited company or a public company but is not a subsidiary of a larger firm with attendant or other subsidiary brewing interests
