The beer biz never sleeps at American Craft Beer. And here’s just some of what’s been happening while you were drinking your way through the weekend.
Craft Brewers Conference Early Registration Now Open
Registration for the 2021 Craft Brewers Conference & BrewExpo America scheduled to take place on Sept. 9-12 in Denver is officially open.
Last January, the Brewers Association, who present this industry conference in different cities annually, announced that it was moving the Craft Brewers Conference that had been scheduled to take place in San Diego in 2021, to Denver, which is closer to the BA’s Boulder, Colorado headquarters, and probably easier for the trade organization to pull off as it adjusts to the changing landscape imposed by COVID-19.
To ensure a safe and fun experience, the conference will have a reduced capacity this year, and all educational seminars will require advance signup to guarantee a seat.
Early Bird pricing offering substantial discounts is available now, so you know what to do.

Seattle Axe Hurling Bar Gets Beer Approval
A Seattle, Washington axe throwing bar will finally have the opportunity to become an actual “bar” after the state liquor board finally approved Blade and Timber’s application which allows participants to purchase and enjoy beer while they’re hurling, ending a two year process.
Blade and Timber is calling the approval a “pilot program,” explaining that beer sales will still be limited…
“The venue will be the first axe throwing experience in the state to pilot serving beer. The approach includes a multitude of measures to prioritize guest safety above all. Safety measures include restricting guests 21 years or older to two beers during their 90-minute axe throwing session…”
The “historic” decision is a triumph for axe hurlers and for the Blade and Timber bar that finally will become a bar.
