C.R.A.F.T. Brewing & Distilling (Coalition to Represent American Flavors & Traditions in Brewing & Distilling) is a veteran-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting veterans and military-connected professionals across the entire adult beverage ecosystem.

We create opportunities from grain to glass—from agriculture and production to distribution, hospitality, media, and entrepreneurship. Through curated tastings, educational experiences, industry showcases, and community-driven awards, C.R.A.F.T. connects veteran-owned, founded, and connected brands with consumers, partners, and advocates who value quality, craftsmanship, and service.

Our events blend heritage, flavor, and mission, celebrating the people behind the brands while building sustainable pathways for veterans to thrive in brewing, distilling, and beyond.
