October 27, 2025 | 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM
Spyglass Brewing Co. | Nashua, NH

Join us for a day of learning, connection, and celebration as we come together to explore what makes craft beer an enduring source of joy and community. The NH Craft Brew Education Day isn't about quick fixes or survival tactics—it's about rediscovering the passion, creativity, and camaraderie that brought us all to this incredible industry in the first place.

A Shared Experience
We're bringing everyone together in one large, welcoming space for five cohesive educational seminars designed to benefit brewery staff at every level. Rather than scattered breakout sessions, we'll share the experience as one community, fostering the kind of organic networking and idea exchange that happens when passionate people gather with a common purpose.

What Makes This Day Special

This day is about stepping away from the daily grind to reconnect with the craft that brings us together. We're focusing on the positive—celebrating what’s working, exploring practical strategies, and learning directly from industry experts who understand today’s market realities. We’ll address challenges, but through the lens of collaboration, creativity, and fresh thinking that defines our community.

Attendees will experience the sensory side of beer, uncover new industry data, and gain hands-on insights into the brewing process—all in an intimate, shared setting that fosters genuine connection.  Participants will walk away with practical tools they can use right away, plus stronger relationships to carry the industry forward.

Exhibitor Hall
Our exhibitor hall features selected vendors, suppliers, and industry experts located throughout the beer hall.
