Dear Brewer,
Introducing a new beer fest to craft breweries these
days can be a challenge. There are certainly plenty to choose from
and we know how from experience that not all of them are planned
with the breweries and their reps in mind.
We
would like to start by promising you that we intend to host a
true craft beer tasting and that we view YOU as our customers. We
want the public to enjoy the event and have some great features
planned to ensure they do, but are primary goal is to hold this
event every year and make it one to which YOU will want to return.
To
that end, we would really like to pay for your beer. But
we can’t. Not in Year One anyway. We
truly hope that in future years we can do so, but for our first
year, we hope you will understand.
Instead, we are doing everything else we can to make
sure you and your people are treated properly. Lodging, meals and
a convenient shuttle are all efforts in that direction.
We
are also doing the little things: providing load-in and load-out
assistance, hanging banners and “now pouring” signs,
offering post-event consumer feedback, and more.
But the real treat is an After-Party for brewery
reps and VIPs that we hope everyone attends. We will open the doors
to the Liberty Belle at 10:30 and treat you to some food and drink
aboard an authentic 19?? Mississippi Riverboat. The party is for
you and your representatives and we plan to make it memorable.
We
are also pleased to be working with St. Christopher’s
Hospital and the Committee to Benefit the Children and can guarantee
that the money we will be donating to that wonderful charity will
go directly to severely ill children and their families.
We are always interested in your suggestions on how
to make this a better event and we invite you to call us anytime
with questions or feedback.
