Craft Brewers Conference & BrewExpo America 2027 takes place April 5–7 at the Henry B. González Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas. Organized by the Brewers Association, the event brings together beverage producers, equipment manufacturers, and industry suppliers, with brewing and packaging technology, ingredients, production systems, and educational programming. The 2027 edition will also be co-located with CiderCon.
Shipping to BrewExpo America frequently involves large or specialized equipment, including fermentation tanks, brewing systems, canning lines, refrigeration units, and stainless-steel processing machinery. Exhibitors must plan around booth-size-based move-in schedules, with large machinery and tanks requiring direct coordination with Freeman. Commercial carriers must also check in at the designated marshaling yard before proceeding to the convention center.
Exhibitway coordinates trade show freight to Craft Brewers Conference, including machinery transportation, direct-to-show deliveries, advance warehouse shipping when available, and expedited freight. Our team helps equipment manufacturers and exhibit houses plan around equipment dimensions, targeted delivery schedules, and material handling requirements to keep shipments aligned with installation plans.
For BrewExpo America, our recommendation is to confirm equipment handling requirements with Freeman before scheduling transportation, especially for fermentation tanks, brewhouses, or complete packaging systems. The organizer requires all large machinery and tanks to be coordinated directly with Freeman, and larger booths may receive earlier move-in appointments.
Make sure your carrier has the correct marshaling instructions and certified loaded and empty vehicle weights. For tall tanks, stainless-steel equipment, and interconnected brewing systems, verify crating, securement, lifting points, and installation sequencing before dispatch. These details can make a significant difference when unloading and assembling equipment on a tight show schedule.
