TOP 10 reason’s why you should attend BBC15

I’ve been thinking long and hard over the past month or so about what kind of post BBC14 blog I would write. I’ve read great pieces from so many bloggers that came back from BBC14 inspired about all things beer. I too am inspired each time I sit at a conference table, learning about some new innovation, hearing from some of the top brewers, or listening to my peer bloggers as they share  what they have learned.

We are so fortunate to have a company like Zephyr Adventures http://beerbloggersconference.org/  putting together these bloggers conferences. Looking back on the past 5 years has been great. They have taken us from coast to coast and had some truly unforgettable beery experiences.

I’ve done TONS of reminiscing over the past weeks. There are more memories than I can count and am truly looking forward to making more at next years conference which will be held July 17-19 in Asheville, North Carolina! In true late night list form I give you the TOP 10 reasons why YOU should attend BBC15!
