February 20 Deadline to Join Pizza Expo’s Craft Beer Pavilion

You have just a couple more weeks to join other brewers at International Pizza Expo, March 19-21 in Las Vegas. More than 7,000 of the nation’s most successful independent and chain pizza-concept restaurant owners and managers will be there shopping for moneymaking ideas — and many of them are expanding their craft beer offerings.

These volume purchasers serve loyal and taste-conscious consumers, and already a number of top craft brewers have secured an affordable spot in the Craft Beer Pavilion. A toast here to Stevens Point Brewery, the latest to sign up to serve samples and do business with Pizza Expo attendees. The pavilion, which will be on a trade show floor with approximately 450 exhibitors, is an effort to match successful pizzerias with the best brewers — pairing craft pizza with craft beer programs. There will also be panel discussions in the seminar rooms on how to build a profitable craft beer list in a pizza-concept establishment.

Here’s your chance to make contact with potential buyers in a concentrated setting. It’s a perfect place to promote the natural affinity between pizza and beer.
