The Craft Brewers Conference and BrewExpo America, organised by The Brewers Association, will co-locate with CiderCon in San Antonio, Texas next year.

The collaborative event, organisers said, brings together two gatherings for independent beverage alcohol producers while maintaining the “distinct identities, communities, and educational experiences” that attendees value most.

“Independent beverage producers are navigating many of the same opportunities and challenges, from evolving consumer preferences to operational pressures and innovation across categories,” said Bart Watson, president and CEO of the Brewers Association.

“By bringing these communities together under one roof, we can create more opportunities for learning, connection, and business growth while preserving the unique culture and purpose of each event.”
