GFLBW GUIDELINES
GFLBW- Greater Fort Lauderdale Beer Week is an opportunity to celebrate Broward County’s craft beer culture and engage and attract new customers. Featuring businesses from Pompano Beach to Fort Lauderdale and Dania Beach to Pembroke Pines, also including Coral Springs, Plantation, Davie and Hollywood—the event takes place September 10-18. EVENT EXECUTION Your event must take place between September 10-18. Events spanning over multiple days, must be submitted as an event listing for multiple days. The event must occur as advertised on the GFLBW- Greater Fort Lauderdale Beer Week website and program guide. If programming significantly changes and you need to update your listing after it’s been submitted, please email a representative: [email protected] RESPONSIBLE PARTIES As the event host, you are solely responsible for programming your event and submitting the event listing. In accordance with the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control Department, GFLBW- Greater Fort Lauderdale Beer Week staff, distributors, importers, wholesalers and manufacturers (except those holding a retail license and submitting as a retailer) cannot submit a listing for an event promoting the use of alcoholic beverages. BE CREATIVE Everyone loves a good happy hour, but GFLBW- Greater Fort Lauderdale Beer Week isn’t about promoting typical happy hour specials, pint night or pricing specials, that promote ‘every day’ tap list offerings, or that encourage excessive drinking. GFLBW- Greater Fort Lauderdale Beer Week events must promote and embody the spirit of craft beer. It’s important that your event includes engaging, hands-on, unique activities with craft beer as its focal point. Some examples are: seminars, demonstrations, tap takeovers, tastings, beer and food pairings, new beer releases, fundraisers and special themed parties. For assistance please contact a representative: [email protected] CRAFT BEER Because this event celebrates independent craft beer and will cater to those particularly enthusiastic about it, we ask that you avoid partnering with mass-produced beer brands. Instead, work with independently owned microbreweries that employ traditional techniques and produce high quality beers that will appeal to the most discerning beer aficionado. IMPRESS NEW CUSTOMERS Though the event is all about the beer, it is equally important that it also be representative of your venue. Remember that your event will leave an impression with patrons, including many who may be experiencing your venue for the first time. It’s also worth noting that your event will coincide with other craft beer related events during GFLBW- Greater Fort Lauderdale Beer Week. Engage in a little friendly competition by producing an event you feel will stand out from the rest.
