Hey, all you procrastinators, today, Wednesday, May 14, is the deadline to
register at the money-saving advance prices for the National Homebrew
Conference in Chicago.
The conference committee has lined up a great schedule of events and
speakers. The Crazy Train Pub Crawl is the prelude to the event at 5:00 PM
on Wednesday, June 18. Things officially kick-off at lunch on Thursday with
Michael Jackson, himself, giving the keynote address. Club Night on
Thursday will feature more than 2 dozen homebrew clubs displaying their art
and the best homebrewers in the world will be crowned during the Grand
Banquet on Friday night. Did we mention speakers? Our list is the best
you'll find anywhere, with people like Peter Bouckeart, former head brewer
at Rodenbach, currently of New Belgium Brewing. The conference wraps up on
Saturday night with "Real Beer Real Food," a tasting of real ales and
lagers and artisanal food.
You know you want to attend, so save money by registering now instead of
grumbling later.

Conference. This rate is not available at their website.
