Tennessee Malt Beverage Association

The Process & System

How We Make Change

Our Distributors

The Tennessee Malt Beverage Association (TMBA) is a coalition of the state’s beer distributors working together to maximize the positive impacts of the beer industry to the benefit of Tennesseans in every community across the Volunteer state.

Since 1949, Tennessee's family-owned distributors have been delivering choice and value to Tennessee consumers and commercial, economic and regulatory value to the communities that they serve. 

They are the people driving beer trucks down your local streets and delivering beer and other beverages to neighborhood stores and bars. These independent distributors are licensed by federal, state and local governments and help brewers and importers of all sizes grow by delivering a wide selection of brands to licensed retailers through a safe, transparent and accountable regulatory system.

Supporting Communities

Tennessee has the highest beer tax in the nation. Resulting in $232.5 million in total beer taxes paid by Tennesseans. $137.5 million of which is paid directly to Tennessee's cities and counties.

We're proud to represent an industry that provides opportunity and builds community through hundreds of millions in wages, salaries, and state and local taxes.
