Boston, MA (June 13, 2008) - "It might sound shocking to some, but
there's more to beer than just drinking it," said Todd Alstr=F6m, Co-

movement, consumers want to know everything about the beer they're
drinking, from the style to ingredients to how it's brewed."
And attendees of the American Craft Beer Fest will get a chance to
learn more about beer from some of the leading names in the beer
industry during moderated panels and guest speaker seminars.
