« IS BEER THE NEW WINE?

[EDUCATION] - Brewers Guild of New Zealand

Dear Brewer
One of the issues the members of the Brewers Guild of New Zealand have raised is getting more eduction and training for brewers in New Zealand. Well here is your opportunity to fill this need.
The Brewers Guild of New Zealand has helped co-ordinate a special “Craft Brewing Forum” as part of the IBD Convention in Auckland in April.But for future events to be organized by the Brewers Guild we really need the support for this event through attendance. It has taken time and resources by the Guild executive as well as the organizing committee of the IBD to put together a program tailored to suit the needs of the craft brewers. For the Brewers Guild to have on going support for events like this we need to support the IBD.

So for just $150 and a Sunday in April you get the following:

Craft Brewers Forum fee includes:

* Attendance at the forum 1300-1630 on Sunday 6 April Convention Proceedings
* Forum papers
* Afternoon Tea
* Welcome Reception

But wait there is MORE:

“A complimentary session”

The Craft Brewing Forum – Chaired by Charlie Bamforth -
