BeerAdvocate.com Art of Beer Fest - May 8, 2004
A Celebration of Craft Brewers and Beer Education

Back by popular demand, BeerAdvocate.com Art of Beer Fest, our annual
celebration of craft brewers and beer education, featuring craft beers from
around the globe and special guest speakers. The fest will be held on May 8,
2004 at The Cyclorama at The Boston Centers for the Arts in Boston's
historical South End. Attendees will have the chance to ...

* Enjoy Boston's premiere gathering of craft breweries and beers!
* Get schooled in the world of beer by our Special Guest Speakers.
* Meet the people who brew the beers you love and beer enthusiasts from
around the globe.
* Savor artisanal cheese & beer pairings by Formaggio Kitchen.
* Enjoy a selection of sandwiches and fixin's available for purchase at the
Redbones booth.
* Help support the craft brewing scene and "better beer" in general.
* Actually learn more about beer, and even how to make it.
* Have loads of fun!

"Attendees and brewers are getting tired of the same old BS at some of these
so-called beer festivals that are merely mega-drunken-fests looking to cash
in on the beer industry. Our fests create relaxed environments where
attendees can truly learn more about beer, talk with brewers and other beer
enthusiasts, and most importantly, help support the craft beer community."
stated Todd Alström, BeerAdvocate.com President and Co-Founder. "And as part
of our dedication to beer education, we've teamed up with some of the
industry's finest and are honored to present our attendees with - perhaps -
the best line-up of speakers at a beer fest, ever."

Special Guest Speakers will include:

* Rich Doyle (CEO / Co-Founder, Harpoon Brewery)
* Jim Koch (Founder, Boston Beer Co. / Sam Adams)
* Horst Dornbusch (World-renown beer and food journalist and beer industry
guru.)
* Garrett Oliver (Brewmaster, Brooklyn Brewery)
* Carol Stoudt (President, Stoudt's Brewing Co.)
* Will Meyers (Brewmaster, Cambridge Brewing Co.)
* Alan Newman & Bob Johnson (Co-founders, Magic Hat Brewing Co.)
* Sam Calagione (President, Dogfish Head Craft Brewers)
