The New England Craft Brew Summit in full swing.

If your brewery or prospective brewery is located in the Northeast of the United States, you should probably check out the New England Craft Brew Summit, the region’s only business-to-business event for the brewing industry. Taking place Thursday, March 29, from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Holiday Inn By The Bay, Portland, Maine, and hosted by the Maine Brewers’ Guild, the New England Craft Brew Summit is a gathering for brewers, brewery owners and all those who currently work with brewers around the country.

The workshops for this year were just announced, with expert speakers in brewing, agriculture, hospitality, tourism, legal, human resource and marketing, delving into issues impacting today’s craft brewer with interactive workshops and lively panel discussions.
