THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN BARRELHOUSE BREWING CO.

We are firmly dedicated to supporting our local community and sharing our brand with new markets. With that being said, each week, we receive many donation/event requests, and as much as we’d like to, we just can’t support every good cause.

Please read through the following requirements, and if your donation or event fits our criteria, complete the associated form.

  • Please submit your application no later than 30 days before your event.

  • We are a Type 23 manufacturing brewery and must adhere to all California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) laws.

  • We are only legally able to donate beer and cash to federally recognized 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(6) organizations.

  • Merchandise (branded apparel and gear, gift cards, etc.) may not be donated but can be purchased at cost.

  • Current law also dictates that beer and merchandise may not be auctioned, and all beer donated to a non-profit event must be consumed on the premises. No beer may be removed from the event.

  • All nonprofits must furnish proof of a daily license from ABC before the event unless it is hosting a private event (not open to the public, no charge for admission, and no sales of alcohol).

Please note that due to the number of donation requests we receive, we've had to focus our limited resources on charities that focus on education and military services in San Luis Obispo County. We recognize there are still a few 100% volunteer non-profit organizations hosting amazing events, but unfortunately, we have to draw the line somewhere. Yes, this is definitely against the grain for our industry, but then again, BarrelHouse Brewing Co. is the brewery you’ve come to love because we often take the path less traveled.

If you are located outside of our home market, please contact your local distributor. In most cases, if we aren't able to donate or sponsor your event, we are pleased to offer wholesale rates to select non-profit organizations. Please complete the form below and we'll review your request. 

What is a BarrelHouse hosted event? This is an event that our staff delivers and is onsite either pouring and/or managing the dispensing of our beer. This may include but is not limited to craft beer festivals and private or non/for-profit events - with the proper licensing.

We focus on special events that deliver an exceptional guest experience. We only attend "craft beer" events directly associated with breweries/guilds within our Craft Beer industry.  Based on the event/donation, BarrelHouse reserves the right to require staffing and/or equipment. All requests are reviewed based on the above criteria and our available resources. Please allow seven business days for a response. If you are a brewery or craft beer industry member, please complete the form below or email us with questions.

Frequently ASKED Questions

Do I need any special license from ABC for my event?
Yes, each event must obtain an ABC special daily license in the name of the non-profit the event is benefiting unless it is a bona fide private event. We must have a copy of your approved license at least one week before your event, or your request will be canceled.

Do you donate to organizations that are not non-profit?
Due to our licensing, we can only donate to organizations that are considered non-profit 501(c)3 and/or 501(c)6 organizations by California’s Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC). 

What is considered a private event?
Any gathering not open to the public, no charge for admission, no sales of alcohol, and no fundraising activities.

My event is being hosted at a location that already sells liquor do I still need the above license?
Yes, please contact your local ABC office for details.
