The Society of Independent Brewers (formerly the Small Independent Brewers Association, or SIBA) is an organisation representing the interests of independent breweries in the UK. Founded in 1980, it was intended to fight the pub-tie system, under which large brewers owned 80% of the UK's pubs.[citation needed] It changed its name in 1995 to reflect the changing aspirations of its members, but retained its original acronym.
