Ale to the Burbs, Illinois Craft Brewers Guild, and Nevin’s Brewing Company Announce First Annual Illinois Suburban Brewers Summit
NAPERVILLE, IL – The Chicago suburbs, home to a growing number of popular and successful craft beer breweries, bars and bottle shops, will soon add a groundbreaking event to its census. Ale to the Burbs, an alliance of suburban craft beer bloggers and event coordinators, is hosting the 1st Annual Illinois Suburban Brewers Summit (ISBS) to be held March 8, 2014, at Nevin’s Brewing Company. Located at 12337 South Route 59 in Plainfield, this public event will run from 6:30-9:30pm.
The goal of the ISBS is to give suburban breweries the opportunity to come together and discuss the state of the market, share ideas and experiences, and collaborate on endeavors to spur increased exposure and recognition of the suburban craft beer scene. Approximately 30 breweries are expected to attend the event with representatives from each business to sit on a moderated panel for an open forum. “There’s no better time than now for this event to take place,” said Jeremy Teel of Ale to the Burbs. “With the rapid growth we’re seeing in the industry and a wide geographic area to serve, suburban brewers encounter unique challenges every day and need to establish and share best practices in order to thrive.”
The ISBS also will feature two hours of public beer tasting with 25-30 beers being poured by attending breweries. The $25 ticket will get each attendee 15 4-ounce pours, appetiziers, a commemorative glass and admission to Nevin’s live music performance following the event (artist TBD). Attendees also will be able to sit in on the open forum and ask brewers their burning questions.
Tickets are available online only through Brown Paper Tickets at http://ISBS.brownpapertickets.com

About Nevin’s Brewing Company
Nevin’s Brewing Company opened its doors in December of 2012. Between the time we opened and the time we brewed our first beer, we were expectant parents setting up the nursery, ensuring that everything was perfect for our baby, our beer. On February 21, 2013, our brew kettle fired up for the first time with our inaugural beer, Contentious, an IPA fermented with Belgian yeast. Since that christening moment, our brewmaster has worked diligently to provide a wide range of brews for all to enjoy. At Nevin’s, we brew because we are infatuated with what happens when malted barley meets water, when hops dance in the boiling wort, and when wort marries yeast. No style is off our radar. We turn our noses up at nothing because we see opportunity in everything.
