Dear Brewers and Vendors:

Welcome to our 15th Great International Beer Festival and our 12th International Beer Competition held respectively on November 8th and 7th at the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence. With over 60,000 square feet, our November 2007 Show increased to 6,500 attendees while our 2nd Spring Beer Festival grew by 35% to 3,700. The Competition in November 2007 represented 220 entries both domestics and international, crafts and macros.

Regarding the economic concerns of many, we have elected to eliminate any booth charges for brewers and distributors that register prior to September 5th. The charges for Competition entries remain the same as in prior years.

Our general policy is to promote our participating brewers and their logos through our website at www.beerfestamerica.com as well as other promotional outlets. The Festival is one of the largest in the U.S. while our Competition is nationally recognized.

Registration forms for both events are enclosed. We hope to see you in November. Thanks and have a good summer. My best wishes.

Sincerely,
Maury A. Ryan, Director
