Heading to CBC? Let’s connect! 🍻

I’m in Indianapolis this week for the Craft Brewers Conference — the biggest global education and networking event for the craft beer industry.

It’s a massive scene: 10,000+ attendees, 600+ exhibitors, 100+ seminars, and countless networking moments. It’s a blast — and a lot to take in.

If you’re here, find me at the Start A Brewery Lounge (proudly sponsored by Wickens Herzer Panza).

Start A Brewery is a free resource powered by experts across the industry — with a website, podcast, and seminars helping new and growing breweries get off the ground. Its mission? Raise the bar through education and lower the barriers to opening and growing breweries.

During CBC, the Lounge will be full of industry veterans — from financial pros and brand creators to architects, brewmasters, sales and marketing experts, equipment consultants, software advisors, and, of course, an employment and craft beer attorney (that’s me).

The Lounge is located at the crossroads of Registration and Sponsored Seminars. Stop by to rest your feet, charge your phone, and say hello!
