Did you miss early bird registration? Don't worry we got you covered! We heard from a few of our brewery members that early bird registration, which officially ended two days ago, snuck up them because of the long holiday weekend. So we extended it!

Early bird registration for the 2025 CA Craft Beer Summit will now end this Friday, September 5, at 11:59 PM. (PST). 🎊

This year’s Summit will feature new research in technical brewing, insights into alcohol law and compliance, a social media marketing and algorithm breakdown tailored to restricted goods, an exhibit hall filled with hands-on experiences and new products, and much more. 🍻

Round 2 of updates for the 2025 CA Craft Beer Summit! This is California’s largest craft beer conferences and we can’t wait to see everyone together in Irvine this November!

👉 Jamie Bogner, Co-founder and Editorial Director of Craft Beer & Brewing, will weave together analytics and storytelling, looking at the realities of the up and down market, with a focus on actual data. This opening keynote will be part interview and part presentation, with Julian Shrago, Co-Brewmaster and Director of Operations at Urban Roots Brewery & Smokehouse, guiding the conversation.

👉 Lallemand Brewing is bringing their Non-Alcoholic Sensory Analysis workshop to the U.S. for the first time. This hands-on workshop gives brewers the opportunity to identify the compounds responsible for the vegetal and off-flavors often associated with NA beers in a safe and guided environment to explore some of these complexities. Attendees will learn to recognize off-flavor compounds, understand their sources, and learn what you can do to mitigate them.

👉Early bird registration ends tomorrow, Sunday, Augut 31! So make sure to register your team today for three days of education, hands-on learning, tradeshow, and networking.
