Rocky Mountain Microbrewing Symposium RMMS the only conference designed by microbrewers, for microbrewers! This one-day event brings brewers together from all over the Rocky Mountain region for the exchange of information and ideas. The program evolves from year-to-year, as does our industry, but always offers a combination of formal presentations and informal workshops and tutorials.
RMMS provides a great forum for culturing many types of relationships within the brewing industry, from the business side to the purely technical. 80% of attendees are head brewers; this event brings them right to you. Plus, you will not have to vie for their attention with dozens of other allied trades, for we limit sponsorship to the first twelve companies who sign on.
