The Craft Brewers Conference and BrewExpo America is next week, May 7-10, in Nashville, Tenn. Are you ready? No, you’re not. How do I know? Because you haven’t yet skimmed these handy CBC 2023 previews from Craft Brewing Business! We reached out to all of the exhibitors to tell us what they’ll be showing off this year. Here is what they had to say.
BrewLogix | Booth 459
BrewLogix will be showcasing their platforms MarketMyBrewery and BreweryDB at CBC 2023.
MarketMyBrewery is a statement to the craft brew industry that BrewLogix is a trusted partner, investing in their success and an advantageous technology platform to manage brewery location and product data easily and simply. MarketMyBrewery equips brewers with cloud marketing tools and integrations that enhance their brands and drive new and repeat traffic to their taprooms.
BreweryDB is the largest, curated data lake of brewery-sourced location and product knowledge in the world.

The platform gives craft lovers visibility to breweries they may never have otherwise ever known, encouraging exploration of both breweries, their brand experiences, and their products. BreweryDB is rich with product knowledge that is beneficial to both fans of craft as well as professionals in on- and off-premise environments.

Brewery Pak | Booth 1738
As a leading specialty insurer of breweries, PAK Programs strives to provide the brewing industry with the solutions they need to succeed. Historically, the Brewery PAK program has offered a wide range of insurance coverage designed to protect breweries against the variety of risk exposures they face. These include equipment breakdown, beer production issues, safety hazards, liquor liability, driver safety and more.
Now, PAK Programs is expanding Brewery PAK to reach a new audience, brewpubs and gastropubs with brewing operations on premises.
Brewery PAK had previously provided insurance coverage to brewpubs and gastropubs that made the majority of their revenue from selling beer. During the pandemic, many brewing businesses added food services to their menu. With this expansion of Brewery PAK’s services, brewpubs and gastropubs focused on hospitality and food services will be able to utilize the full range of Brewery PAK’s coverages and resources.
This new product not only includes Brewery PAK’s insurance coverage offerings, but also provides access to the suite of PAK Programs’ risk management services, including their iRAD technology. iRAD creates exact models of structures and buildings on the property to identify any possible risk exposures before an incident or claim could occur, helping to protect breweries against risk exposures that are difficult to anticipate.

Encompass | Booth 2003
Craft beer sales are down. Getting the right product in the right market at the right time is hard. What’s not hard is falling victim to analysis paralysis when deciding on the right production steps to take to stay ahead of market demand. Heck, let’s say you get a placement at a store… how are you making sure distributors are executing that placement to the best of their ability? How are you transforming your production culture to be smarter, not just more efficient? How are you gathering data about what’s selling
Encompass Technologies is ready to show you how to modernize your brewing operations at CBC and chat about:
- How our customers are using brewery management software
- How cross-tier collaboration helps drive sales growth and grow relationships with wholesale partners
- How to bridge communication gaps around product info that have prevented you from improving market execution
