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.
