Industry Partner Membership — Join New York’s Craft Beer Network

Connect with hop growers, breweries, and industry leaders shaping the future of craft beer in New York State.

The Hop Growers of New York (HGNY) Industry Partner Membership is built for businesses that want more than visibility—they want connection, influence, and access.

This is an accountability-driven membership, meaning:

  • Members actively shape programs, initiatives, and industry direction

  • HGNY delivers resources, visibility, and opportunities that support your business

It’s not passive. It’s a working network designed to move the New York craft beer industry forward—together.

As an Industry Partner, you gain access to:

  • Strategic connections with New York hop growers and breweries

  • Early access to pilot and beta programs

  • Opportunities to contribute to industry research and data initiatives

  • Increased visibility within the craft beer and agricultural community

  • Invitations to events, activations, and collaborations across NYS

Whether you’re looking to:

  • Grow your presence in the craft beer industry

  • Build partnerships with brewers and growers

  • Stay ahead of trends and data

  • Contribute to a stronger, more sustainable supply chain

This membership puts you in the room—and at the table.
