Craft Brewers Conference

Another Scottsdale Culinary Fest is in the books. Always a fun crowd, not necessarily a ton of beer geeks, but a lot of people who are discovering the different flavors they can find in great beer. Most of them are very excited about being exposed to a Saison Dupont or La Chouffe. So that's always a winning weekend.

Anyway, Little Guy is off to the Craft Wholesalers Conference followed by the Craft Brewers Conference in Boston this week. My plane leaves at 9:00 and I'll be in town shortly before 5:00. After that its a week of trying to balance all the great opportunities to learn more about the business with all the opportunities to attend fantastic events and drink great beer. Somehow, I think we'll manage and come home better for it...at least profesionally, physically it could take a little more recovery time.

We'll update you throughout the week here on the blog. Given all the opportunities mentioned above, I trust you will forgive any late night typos or grammatical errors. Tonight its the Barking Crab for some quality time with our fellow wholesalers and then maybe a trip to Cambridge Brewing Company. Things start in earnest tomorrow so this may be the last coherent paragraph you read from me for a while.
