Examiner.com to Cover Great American Beer Festival in Real-Time
Posted on: Thursday, 24 September 2009, 06:00 CDT
DENVER, Sept. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- While thousands of craft beer aficionados from cities across the U.S. gather for the Great American Beer Festival (GABF) this week, Examiner.com, in collaboration with BeerTapTV.com, will provide ongoing coverage of the event.
"People come to Denver from all over the country to attend the Great American Beer Festival, and the event sells out quickly," said Jacob Harkins, Food & Drink channel manager for Examiner.com. "For those who aren't able to sample the variety of beers being showcased by more than 450 breweries, or experience the excitement of GABF first-hand, they can log on to Examiner.com (www.examiner.com/GABF) and watch video interviews with the beer makers, event attendees, and quite possibly, some of America's favorite celebrity beer consumers."
This is the first year Examiner.com is a sponsor at GABF. During the week of September 14, Examiner.com ran a contest, where 16 lucky winners picked up tickets to the coveted event. As part of its sponsorship, Examiner.com will host a photo booth (spaces 123 and 124), where attendees are encouraged to memorialize their visit to GABF. Select photos will also be available on Examiner.com following the event, so people around the world can get an insider's look into the festival.
GABF Founder and National Beer Examiner Charlie Papazian (examiner.com/beer) will post stories on Examiner.com throughout the event. The Great American Beer Festival runs September 24 - 26.
Other Examiners will also attend and provide coverage online. Examiner.com carefully vets each of its writers and provides them an optimized home on the Web with access to publishing tools, Web training and a live help desk. If you have what it takes to be an Examiner, this rapidly-growing Web site is currently recruiting within each of its 109 markets.
