NC Craft Brewers Conference

Join us for a special evening in the Highland Brewing Event Center on November 2 as we dive into issues surrounding diversity and inclusion in the world of craft beer. 

J Jackson-Beckham, Principal at Crafted For All and Brewers Association Diversity Ambassador, will give a lecture on equity and inclusion in the craft beer community. This talk will be followed by a panel discussion featuring employees and fans of craft beer. In this interactive talk and discussion panel, Dr. J will open the door for an honest and judgement-free conversation about the realities of authentically reaching populations that are underrepresented throughout the craft beer community.

A limited quantity of tickets are available for $20 to maintain safety for guests and staff. This is a 21+ event, and a beer token will be included with your ticket purchase. Tables seat a maximum of 6 guests. Cocktail seating available for 2 guests. A dinner-box option from our friends at Smash Catering will be available for an additional $13. Dinner orders must be received by October 28. (Choose from their Cuban Sandwich or Caprese Panini). There is a vegan option available by request.
