Grow your international business by meeting buyers from multiple international beer markets while attending the Great American Beer Festival (GABF)!

The Brewers Association Export Development Program (EDP) is hosting an inbound trade mission of American craft beer importing companies traveling to Denver, Colorado, to attend the 2026 GABF.

This mission targets key decision makers and buyers within these importing companies and is designed to encourage both the expansion of their U.S. craft beer portfolios and the growth of existing distribution by facilitating meetings with American craft beer suppliers.

EDP members are invited to register brewery staff by August 21 to participate in meetings with importers in Denver to discuss opportunities for international distribution. In advance of the festival, registered brewery representatives will receive instructions for matchmaking and meeting support.
