Before the bagpipers begin their march and the pretzel necklaces go on, Brewbound’s Brew Talks meetup will (unofficially) kick off the Great American Beer Festival weekend with conversations with industry leaders and networking.
Brew Talks will take place Thursday, September 21, from noon to 3 p.m. MT at Cervantes Masterpiece (2637 Welton St., Denver, CO, 80205). Tickets are available now.
The first conversation will discuss the challenges facing draft beer and strategies for improving draft trends.
Dogfish Head co-founder Sam Calagione and Tamarron Consulting co-founder and president Lori Scheiffler will join the conversation. Additional speakers and conversations will be announced in the coming weeks.
Tickets cost $29 for brewery workers, wholesalers, retailers and trade group employees and include two beers and light appetizers. Tickets for suppliers and service providers cost $199. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Colorado Brewers Guild.
Brew Talks is presented by Dogfish Head. Supporting sponsors include the Reyes Beer Division and Encompass. Supplier and service companies interested in sponsoring Brew Talks should reach out to Bryce McDonald at bmcdonald@bevnet.com.
