Brewbound’s Brew Talks meetup series returns live and in-person Thursday, September 9, during the Craft Brewers Conference in Denver.
Industry leaders will meet for an afternoon session of networking, beers and high-level conversations at a soon-to-be-disclosed venue. The meeting will take place from 1-4 p.m. MT.
The first conversation will examine innovation within the traditional beer space and the evolution of marketing and packaging of long-time core beers at a time when most innovation efforts are focused on beyond beer offerings such as hard seltzers and canned cocktails.
Dogfish Head co-founder Sam Calagione, New Belgium Brewing CEO Steve Fechheimer and additional top brewery executives will discuss the strategies behind their top product lines, from the iconic 60 Minute IPA and Fat Tire Amber Ale, to newer franchises such as Hazy-O IPA and Voodoo Ranger.
