We are now accepting merchandise vendors for the 2013 festival! From clothing to specialty gifts, this World Beer Festival is a great way to promote your local business to a captive audience of thousands. Contact Brandi LaDue for more information on participating.
Changes in state beer laws in 2005 have vastly expanded the range of beer styles available and Columbia, in particular, boasts an excited beer community that is eager to share new beer experiences.
The mission of All About Beer Magazine’s World Beer Festival is to educate the public in beer appreciation and beer quality and build the local beer community. Help us with our mission and grab the opportunity to reach adults between 21-44 years of age.
