The Canadian Craft Brewers Association

Alors que nous entrons dans une nouvelle année d’événements, nous encourageons les organisateurs de festivals à prendre des mesures pour s’assurer que leurs événements sont sûrs pour les microbrasseries participantes et les participants. 

As we go into another year or events, we are encouraging festival organizers to take measures to ensure their events are safe for participating breweries and attendees. 

We sat down with LeBaron Meyers from #NotMe, an anonymous reporting app that allows real time reporting to gain insight on how services like theirs can be part of your event safety strategy. 

Beer festival season is upon us! 

Festivals and events can be an excellent marketing opportunity, as well as a chance to come together with our communities and neighboring craft breweries…not to mention, a ton of fun! 

While there’s plenty of benefit to come from attending your local craft beer festival, large groups of people fueled by alcohol can be a recipe for unsafe environments. As we get back to in-person events, many breweries are recognizing the importance of expecting a safety strategy from event organizers.

Le mois de juin marque le début du Mois de la Fierté, qui est non seulement une période de célébration mais aussi un appel à plus d’unité, de visibilité et d’égalité pour la communauté LGBTQIA2S+. La fierté est une excellente occasion de montrer votre appui et votre soutien à la communauté LGBTQIA2S+, mais il est important que ces actions soient faites de manière à avoir un impact positif durable et qu’en tant que communauté des microbrasseries, nous évitions les notions qui sont performatives ou qui peuvent causer du tort.

June marks the start of Pride Month, which not only marks a time of celebrating but also a call for more unity, visibility and equality for the LGBTQIA2S+ community. Pride is a great opportunity to show your allyship and support for the LGBTQIA2S+ community, but it is important that these actions are done in such a way that there is long-lasting positive impact and that as a craft beer community we avoid notions that are performative or can cause harm. 

Au fur et à mesure que l’équipe de votre microbrasserie s’agrandit, vous aurez besoin de communiquer plus efficacement entre les équipes et les responsables. Le simple fait de laisser des post-it dans le bureau ou d’envoyer un SMS collectif ne suffira pas comme méthode efficace de tenue des dossiers alors que nous retrouvons nos niveaux d’activité prépandémiques. C’est pourquoi BarSight a créé un journal de bord numérique accessible et facile à mettre à jour par tous les superviseurs et responsables de votre microbrasserie.
