In this session, we will speak with a panel of brewery owners on how they have grown their brewery through opening a second location and the impact on the growth of their brewery.

Join us for a conversation with the Safe Bars P.A.C.T. Initiative partners. The Safe Bars P.A.C.T. Initiative is a collaborative response to create safe and respectful workspaces with proactive measures to end gender-based harassment and other violence in the beverage industry.   The beverage industry has and continues to perpetuate harm for those it seeks to marginalize and keep vulnerable. We have an opportunity to change the current culture for womxn, transgender, and non-binary individuals to be able to work in the beverage industry with confidence, safety, and respect.   Has your brewery signed the P.A.C.T.?    Adopting the P.A.C.T. and enrolling your organization in Safe Bars Certification Training shows an ethical and fiscal commitment that benefits your team, your customers and your business.   Are you ready to take action? safebarspact.org This conversation features: AJ Head (Safe Bars) Andrew Coplon (Craft Beer Professionals) Betsy Lay (Lady Justice Brewing) Dana Kaluzny (Social Impact Projects) Julie Rhodes (Not Your Hobby Marketing Solutions) CBP Connects 2-Day Workshop | 3 Nightly Receptions Norfolk, Virginia February 7-9, 2022 Register: https://cbpconnects-norfolk.eventbrite.com/ St. Louis, Missouri June 20-22, 2022 Register: https://cbpconnects-stlouis.eventbrite.com/ www.CraftBeerProfessionals.org

All across the U.S., taprooms come in many shapes and sizes. The interior and exterior are each as unique as the individuals that produce and serve the beer within the taprooms. Even more unique are the varied locations in which we have chosen to open our taprooms. As we have chosen an industry that continuously highlights its community, we often forget certain aspects of our community that are right in front of us. What happens when we choose not only to focus on the value we gain from our craft beer community, but also the value we bring to the community directly surrounding our taprooms? This conversation features: Chris Strauss (Incendiary Brewing Company) Jamaar Valentine (NoDa Brewing Company) Vernardo "Tito" Simmons-Valenzuela (Dirtbag Ales) CBP Connects  2-Day Workshop | 3 Nightly Receptions Norfolk, Virginia February 7-9, 2022 Register: https://cbpconnects-norfolk.eventbrite.com/ St. Louis, Missouri June 20-22, 2022 Register: https://cbpconnects-stlouis.eventbrite.com/ www.CraftBeerProfessionals.org

Brewing beer is both an art and a science. And every business has its own unique story to tell. When it comes to the craft beer industry, many breweries use data management and analytics to gain insight into their businesses and create a competitive advantage -- from finding new customers, to tracking product quality and consistency, to growing their brewery production volumes. Join the Beer30 by The 5th Ingredient panel discussion to learn how three breweries have used data management in innovative ways to grow their companies. This conversation features: Brian Bullard (Co-Founder and Owner, ONCO Fermentations) Marty Bills (Director of Brewing Operations, Pelican Brewing) Pulkit K. Agrawal (Founder and CEO, The 5th Ingredient) William Glass (Founder, The Brewing Projekt) The 5th Ingredient develops all-in-one brewery management systems that makes it easy to use your data for real-time process improvement.   Visit www.the5thingredient.com to learn more or email pint@the5thingredient to book your demo today!

Every brewer knows (or should know) about the risks associated with CO2 exposure and leaks. You or someone you know has felt dizzy or nauseous, passed out, or even worse. You should already have trainings in place and action plans for incidents in place. But do you know why carbon dioxide effects you and your staff in these ways? DO you really know the science behind the gas? This session will provide you with the simple scientific basics of carbon dioxide, how its created, why it acts like it does, and how it really effects humans. The session will also provide you with the easy to translate principles into your teams and facilities to ensure you remain #co2safe.
