Florida’s most brew-tiful minds will meet in Tampa next week for the Florida Brewers Conference.

The three-day event, hosted by Mother Murphy’s Flavors and the Florida Brewers Guild, highlights breweries from across the state and lets beer lovers connect over hops and dreams.

The first two days are packed with educational sessions with professionals before Sunday’s show floor, where attendees can discuss new products and taste beer with more than 70 vendors.

The Distilling Association will also host a session on the fermentation industry.

Niko Tonks from Yakima Chief Hops are also on the agenda, and will discuss recent creations in the world of liquid hop aroma products. These aromas are designed to be added to beer without the need for traditional hop pellets or flowers.

Other speakers include Melissa Hunt from Fresh from Florida on seasonal produce and Haidar and Mar Hachem from Shōjō’s Dojo, who will share insights on sake and how it is brewed.

Tickets start at $140.56 for the Florida Brewers Conference happening Monday-Wednesday, July 28-30 at Tampa Marriott Water Street.
