The Craft Brewers Conference will return to Denver this fall

Rescheduled | The Brewers Association announced that the 38th edition of the Craft Brewers Conference & Brew Expo America® (CBC) will return to the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colorado, USA, from 9–12 September 2021.

The premier conference and trade show for the craft brewing industry was originally scheduled to take place in San Diego, March 29-April 1, 2021, but has been rescheduled due to the ongoing pandemic.

Shifting to September in Denver provides the BA with an opportunity to convene in person, making it possible to do what brewers do best – build community and learn from each other.

Final confirmation of the in-person event remains dependent on health and safety protocols at the time of the conference. If an in-person event is not possible due to Covid-19 related concerns, the conference will move online. Registration for attendees and media is anticipated to open in April 2021.

Details for the festival portion of GABF remain under review. A complete GABF competition timeline is available here: greatamericanbeerfestival.com
