Craft Brewers Conference & BrewExpo America

[tikitatt]

Has anyone attended the Craft Brewers Conference & BrewExpo America in San Diego? It sounds very educational and fun to me. If so, what are your thoughts and would you go again?

I've been to this conference twice, once in San Diego and once in Seattle, when I was planning on opening my own brewery. It is a trade show for pro brewers, so the content is not really geared toward home brewers, but it is interesting anyway.

That's too bad I thought it was for both pro and home brewers.

Thanks

I've been to the CBC for the last 4 years (SanDiego, Boston, Chicago & SanFran) and it's an amazing event! I think you might need to join the BA and be at least registered as a Brewery in Planning in order to attend (but I could be wrong).
If you're going to go, I'd suggest planning on being there for every day and making the most out of it. - it is Super expensive, but you walk out of each seminar with something you can take back to the brewery and apply. Also, with the huge growth in the number of brewery's in the US and this year being a World Beer Cup year, this conference will fill up quickly! So plan on getting your tickets early!
