Independent Family Brewers of Britain is an association of 28 family-owned and operated breweries that produce regionally crafted British beers, primarily cask ales, using traditional methods and locally sourced natural ingredients. The private company is based in Great Horwood, UK. The members operate and invest in over 3,000 historic pubs across England and Wales, with most run under a tenanted system supported by training, flexible tenancy models, and business support. The organization emphasizes long-term family ownership, sustainable growth, and the preservation of British beer culture, supported by inheritance tax relief to maintain independent ownership. IFBB members adhere to a voluntary code of practice for responsible pub management and provide support to tenants and pub operators, including marketing, legal, and operational assistance. The group promotes the history and heritage of British brewing, responsible drinking, and the cultural importance of family-run breweries.
