Live Video Stream of Brew Talks San Francisco Announced

Brewbound.com is pleased to announce live video streaming Brew Talks San Francisco, a FREE traveling meetup series for craft beer industry professionals.

The event, which will be hosted at Speakeasy Ales & Lagers on Wednesday, Sept. 11, will feature two discussions of issues directly related to the business of craft beer.

Brewbound.com editor Chris Furnari will sit down with Tom McCormick, the executive director of the California Craft Brewers Association (CCBA), to discuss important legislative issues facing California’s craft brewers.

McCormick will review the changes to AB 647, California’s ‘growler bill,’ as well as future considerations for additional growler-related policies. He’ll discuss the pros and cons of allowing both on-premise and off-premise retailers to sell to-go containers. Additionally, McCormick will provide a brief preview of the bills that the CCBA is considering sponsoring in 2014.

A second discussion, on the strategies behind new package introductions, will feature three Bay Area-based craft brewers.
