Overview

Join us for an engaging Q&A with the top minds in Maine craft beer as we explore the dynamic factors shaping the industry in 2024. With over 150 breweries contributing more than $632 million in economic impact and earning the designation as #2 in beer production per capita in the US, Maine’s brewing community stands at the forefront of innovation and growth.

In this session, we will navigate the changing landscape influenced by state-led employer mandates, product diversification into hard seltzer, non-alcoholic beers, and cannabis-infused offerings. We will also delve into the threats and opportunities presented by consolidation and outsourced brewing operations.

As growth and innovation remain our perennial mandates, we will discuss how breweries are dedicating their efforts in the post-pandemic landscape.
