The American Craft Beer Hall of Fame has announced the launch of its Hall Monitor program, a new opportunity for supporters to help preserve and celebrate the people and stories that have shaped American craft beer through the decades.
Individuals who donate to the Hall will now gain access to special recognition as Inaugural Hall Monitors, acknowledging them as members of the original group of supporters helping the organization honor the pioneers, innovators, educators, advocates, and other influential figures responsible for building and advancing American craft beer.
“Craft beer in America has always been about more than simply the brewers or suppliers who work in the industry,” explained Marty Nachel, President and Founder of the American Craft Beer Hall of Fame. “It’s the craft beer drinkers – the enthusiasts and fans of it – that have let it flourish and grow over the decades. We wanted to ensure they had a way to participate in our mission, and a way to show the world that they are as passionate about craft beer as anyone.”
In exchange for their generosity, Inaugural Hall Monitors will receive:
- An exclusive virtual Inaugural Hall Monitor badge that can be displayed online and shared through social media, so that they may share their contribution with others
- Recognition via a shout out via the Hall’s social media thanking them for their donation
- A public listing on the Hall’s website as an Inaugural Hall Monitor
- The opportunity to participate in future versions of the Hall Monitor program as they are introduced in coming years, as well as the benefits thereof
The Inaugural Hall Monitor designation will only be available for a limited time. Supporters must make their donation by midnight on December 31st, 2026, to be included in the program’s inaugural class.
Donations will support the American Craft Beer Hall of Fame’s ongoing efforts to preserve the history of craft beer in the United States, celebrate those who built and championed the movement, and ensure their contributions and achievements are remembered by and inspire future generations of brewers and drinkers alike.
