1st Illinois Suburban Brewers Summit – March 8th

NAPERVILLE, IL – The Chicago suburbs, home to a growing number of popular and successful craft beer breweries, bars and bottle shops, will soon add a groundbreaking event to its census. Ale to the Burbs, an
alliance of suburban craft beer bloggers and event coordinators, is hosting the 1st Annual Illinois Suburban Brewers Summit (ISBS) to be held March 8, 2014, at Nevin’s Brewing Company. Located at 12337 South Route 59 in Plainfield, this public event will run from 6:30-9:30pm.

The goal of the ISBS is to give suburban breweries the opportunity to come together and discuss the state of the market, share ideas and experiences, and collaborate on endeavors to spur increased exposure and recognition of the suburban craft beer scene. Approximately 30 breweries are expected to attend the event with representatives from each business to sit on a moderated panel for an open forum. “There’s no better time than now for this event to take place,” said Jeremy Teel of Ale to the Burbs. “With the rapid growth we’re seeing in the industry and a wide geographic area to serve, suburban brewers encounter unique challenges every day and need to establish and share best practices in order to thrive.”
