What can you expect from a presentation at NE Brew Summit? 

  • Experienced presenters who have deep expertise and understanding of the craft beer industry.
  • Actionable advice, not just a sales presentation. 
  • Panel discussions representing multiple perspectives, led by a great moderator.
  • Real world, practical applications of knowledge presented.
    • case studies 
    • beer industry specific stats 
    • take home practical guides 
    • ‘how to’ documents for brewers
  • Diversity of thought:
    • Our brewers run businesses in a variety of locations, with different models, and we’re all trying to bring more customers into our craft beer community.
    • We aim to host seminars that will help breweries in rural and urban locations, those who run brewpub and/or tasting room models, and those who have found new ways to expand their customer base, and build profitable, sustainable brewery businesses.
  • Content should be delivered within 30-45mins and allow for Q&A.

Bringing together world-class brewers, knowledgeable brewery owners, and experts in business of beer, the 2024 New England Brew Summit provides valuable content for all those working in the craft beer industry. We anticipate publishing our schedule of presentations by mid-late January 2024.
