Mission

RMMS has it all!

People drinking beer at RMMS last year

This exciting one-day event brings microbrewers and renowned experts together for the exchange of information and ideas. The program evolves from year-to-year, but always offers a combination of formal, lecture-style presentations and informal roundtables, workshops and tutorials.

At $125 per person, symposium admission is affordable for those with even the most modest budget. Breakfast, lunch, and our special off-campus dinner party are included in this price. We also have an extensive beer tasting all day. Because Colorado is home to so many microbreweries and brewpubs, we believe this is the perfect place to hold an event designed by and for microbrewers. Even so, attendance is limited to about 120 people, lending the RMMS a cozy and relaxed atmosphere, unlike most brewing conferences.

What makes RMMS unique?

  • Program topics are chosen by attendees.
  • Presentations are designed to be instructive to small brewers.
  • No infomercials! Our speakers are experts, not company reps.
  • Transcripts for all sessions are provided in the program booklet.

What kind of presentations can I expect?

We host leading industry professionals that represent every aspect of brewing. Granted, it is difficult to cover every major aspect in brewing, but we try! Every symposium is packed full of information, and everyone walks away with not only a great deal of relevant information to their industry, but also a great deal of new and renewed contacts
