When the Brewd team was coming up with a game plan for events to attend in the evenings after the CA Beer Summit 2018, we discovered that there is no comprehensive list of all the events, meetups, and tap takeovers. Thus, we decided to start compiling one. If you know of an event not on this list, please contact us!

We will be attending the Summit this year and if you would like to meet with me, Dave Jensen, to say hello or to discuss how Brewd software can help your brewery, then please feel free to schedule a time slot on my calendar, send me an email dave@getbrewd.com, message us on Facebook, or direct message us on Twitter @BrewdHQ or @djensen47.

The seven “official” events can be found on the CA Beer Summit Week Events page but are repeated below for convenience.
