It’s my prescription for enduring the darkness. Also, on an unrelated note, I am not a medical professional.

Craft Beer Takes on the Capital: Brewers Association Craft Beer Conference and BrewExpo America
April 3, 2013 | Erin Petrey

This gathering differs greatly from the Great American Beer Festival, which is much more focused on the actual brews themselves, rather than the industry. The entire event hosts two main components: the Craft Beer Conference (seminar-based) and BrewExpo America (an industry trade show).
