Craft Brewers Conference canceled

Due to the Corona Pandemic, the Brewers Association has decided to cancel the Craft Brewers Conference in San Antonio. The BA issued the following statement explaining the reasoning behind the cancelation of the event:

"The Brewers Association has been following the situation around COVID-19 as it relates to the Craft Brewers Conference & BrewExpo America and World Beer Cup™. We have been closely monitoring updates and recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as state and local governments. We have also been actively following travel advisories and restrictions being placed on health care providers and hospitals and institutions in the U.S. and globally.

Given the recent developments, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Craft Brewers Conference & BrewExpo America and World Beer Cup. The Brewers Association will provide full refunds of conference registration and booth fees, sponsor payments, and World Beer Cup competition entries.

We are grateful to all of you who made plans to attend this year’s events. It is heartbreaking to miss the annual gathering of our craft brewing community, but the safety and health of attendees, exhibitors, sponsors, staff, volunteers, and the craft brewing community at large is paramount to the Brewers Association."
