Thank you to everyone who showed up in Irvine for the 2025 CA Craft Beer Summit! This year’s reimagined program was incredible, and seeing so many of you show up ready to learn, share, challenge ideas, and support one another made all the difference. The conversations in the hallways, the questions in the sessions, and the genuine collaboration happening all week reminded us why the craft beer community is so special and why we do the work we do.

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. 🍻
