CCBW Craft Beer Roundtable

Business doesnt have to be boring. Especially if it involves beer.

With more than 170 breweries in Chicago and the suburbs, the business of beer is anything but boring in 2017. Join us at BuckleDown Brewing in Lyons for a robust discussion with some of the Chicago-areas best brewers about how they compete in an ever-crowded market.

Panelists include:
Sean Mahoney, Co-founder of BuckleDown Brewing
Gabriel Magliaro Co-founder of Half Acre
Tommy Vasilakis is a part owner of BrickStone
Steve Loranz is a co-founder/head brewer for Kinslahger

The guys will talk about the difficult decisions brewers face when looking at if, how and when to expand.

A one-hour reception will be followed by a two-hour conversation moderated by Crains Chicago Business Peter Frost and feature special beers from each brewery. Tickets limited.
