California Beer and Beverage Distributors (CBBD) is the largest nonprofit trade association representing brewers, distributors, and retailers of beer in the state of California.

History
The CBBD was founded by Adolph Markstein, who also founded the National Beer Wholesalers Association.[2]
Opposition to Legalized Cannabis
The CBBD is in favor of continued cannabis prohibition. In October 2008, the CBBD donated $100,000 to People Against the Proposition 5 Deception.[3] In September 2010, the CBBD donated $10,000 to the No-on-19 campaign.[4] Observers have cited the possible competition between legal alcohol and legal cannabis as a primary motivator.[5][6][7]
Rockwell Project
The CBBD is a sponsor of the Rockwell Project,[8] which is a program using the testimonial of Jim Rockwell to discourage persons below the legal drinking age from using alcohol. Jim Rockwell is a man who, as a teenager, caused an automobile accident while driving under the influence of alcohol.[9]
