BeerAdvocate to Host the East Coast's Largest American Craft Beer Fest
At the Seaport World Trade Center in Boston, MA
(Boston, MA - January 2008) In keeping with their self-elected duty to
bring better beer to the masses, BeerAdvocate founders and brothers
Jason and Todd Alström are crafting something big.
Held on June 20 & 21 at the Seaport World Trade Center in Boston, the
first annual "American Craft Beer Fest" (ACBF) will feature 3-
sessions, invite upwards of 75 breweries, and serve at least 300 craft
beers with an expected attendance of 15,000 appreciators of beer.
"It's time," stated Todd Alström, "It's time the East Coast had a
large-scale, world-class event that not only celebrates the creativity
and growth that's occurring amongst America's craft brewers, but puts
the respect back into beer." The latter being a reference to their
personal motto "Respect Beer," in which the brothers urge consumers to
appreciate the brewer's art respectfully through support, beer
education, and responsible enjoyment.
In addition to tasting a wide-variety of beer, ACBF will offer
attendees plenty of beer education, including guest speakers, beer &
food pairings, one-on-one opportunities to interact with actual
brewers, and networking opportunities for beer industry professionals
to help them support and bring more awareness to craft beer.
"We're excited to be working with our partner Harpoon Brewery, the
Seaport team, and craft brewers in bringing the East Coast a
destination event that we hope to grow into one of the largest beer
fests in America," added Jason Alström. "Craft beer, its growing
number of loyal followers, and the region are ready for an event like
this."
Tickets go on-sale in February.
American Craft Beer Fest is a BeerAdvocate & Harpoon Brewery
partnership. For general information, please contact the Alström Bros
