COVID-19: IBA MEMBERS INFORMATION PAGE 

Our community is pulling together useful resources relating to the small business, breweries and hospitality that should help you during this trying time. We’ll keep updating as we find more tools sourced from reputable sites, government agencies and IBA members.

If you would like to assist our members with advice, webinar, offers and information during this time please contact the IBA immediately. [email protected]

Tell us what you need from the IBA. Let's all start sharing helpful information so we can get through this together.

    • Increase the rate from the current level of 60% to 100% of excise payable up to the $350,000 cap;
    • Allow brewers to pay their excise net of any rebate rather than needing to pay excise and claim a refund.
