Our Mission
The mission of FCSA is to grow the market for Florida craft spirits through education, marketing, and regulatory influence. As a member of FCSA, we work for you to ensure the Florida craft distiller’s best interests are served.
Governmental Affairs
Florida craft distilleries and other small businesses are the epicenter of our state’s economy and must have relentless advocates in Tallahassee. Through FCSA’s relationships with state legislators, associations, state agencies, and organizations that work closely with our community, FCSA is the only Florida distilled spirits voice that works with our state government decision-makers while informing the FCSA membership on new laws and agency rules.
Education
As the official voice of Florida distillers, FCSA is the only association supporting the distilling community. Through public outreach, FCSA creates greater knowledge and awareness of handcrafted Florida spirits. Internally, our members are a community of proud entrepreneurs with a passion for the art of distilling spirits who willingly share ideas to help launch, grow and sustain their livelihoods.
Marketing
The Florida craft spirits industry is dedicated to meeting high standards, carefully handcrafting each product. FCSA works to spread the word about our vibrant distilled spirits industry through partnerships with related organizations, associations, retail stores, end consumers, and the media. FCSA also hosts and supports events throughout the Sunshine State, ultimately raising awareness of all our members’ handcrafted spirits.
Regulatory Influence
A unified voice from all Florida distillers is critical to a successful future for the distilled spirits industry of our state. FCSA provides that voice while monitoring and providing input with the Florida Legislature and ABT for licensing, regulatory affairs, and laws that affect our industry.
