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 \u00a0what they have learned.<\/p>\n

We are so fortunate to have a company like Zephyr Adventures\u00a0http:\/\/beerbloggersconference.org\/ \u00a0putting 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.<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n
