Values and Operating Principles

The Fermenters Guild supports the following values and operating principles.

That sharing of information, providing networking opportunities, providing educational advantages and supporting each other improves the industry for all, customers, manufacturers and FOP operators alike.
That all FOP operators must work under the same guidelines, adhering to standards and regulations to provide a level playing field and enhance healthy competition and improvements to the industry as a whole.
That honesty and integrity improve the image of the industry and expand the market for all.
That representation is important for an industry that is more regulated than many other industries. Manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers alike benefit from Industry wide accepted Code of Ethics and Professional Standards to increase consumer and governmental trust and acceptance.
That governments and industry associations should continually work to making the process (Ferment On Premises) more open and fair and that standards should enhance and not unduly limit personal production of wine and beer.
