The Craft Brewers Conference is great for how all encompassing it is — but that can also be a downfall if you suffer from FOMO (fear of missing out). There are so many great educational sessions and fun events! If you’re in a need for a more focused, smaller-scale brewing education conference as a chaser, check out CBP Connects.
These interactive events are hosted by our pals the Craft Beer Professionals (CBP), and feature a mix of educational sessions and peer networking opportunities.
The next CBP Connects is set for June 20-22 in St. Louis. Sessions will include:
