The press release is below but I also got some added insight from the coordinator.
A couple of pieces of information about our event that I think some readers might appreciate:
WBF –We do not charge any brewery to participate in the event, there is no booth space fee… We do purchase the beer for the event so we do not ask a brewery to donate beer for the event. We do charge non brewery vendors a nominal fee to have a booth space and we generally do not have more than a few because we have limited space. Thanks for the support.
EVENT POSTPONED – NEW 2013
DATE TBD
