Minimize Your Hangover & Maximize Your Awesomeness: How to Thrive at a Beer Festival
A hoppy mecca for American Craft Beer, Colorado also is the location for a great number of beer festivals, including one of the biggest beer festivals in the world: The Great American Beer Festival. These festivals, while fun, are often no walk in the park. If you're not prepared, you'll end up with a wicked hangover and your friends will end up with photos that will be used as blackmail should you ever happen to run for public office.
I'll teach you how to maximize your awesomeness at these bad boys and how avoid some embarrassing moments (some of which you might need to eventually get annulled).
I've worked as a Craft Beer marketer and designer for the last three years and have been to about sixty beer festivals in that time. So you could probably consider me an expert.
You were picked!

Haven't been to brew at the zoo - I wasnt high enough in the pecking order at my company to get to work it, fatsplenda. I heard it was really crowded this year.
GABF is incredible and I recommend that everyone should go. I'll give some good tips about how to rock GABF's shit.

I am yet to make it to the GABF. I was at Brew At the Zoo in September -- ever been there? Amazing.

thanks, fatsplenda! I've always found the best Ignite Presentations are about something the presenter is passionate about, and I love beer festivals. Well, most of them, anyway.
