The BREW 2006 Conference began last night with yet another spectacular welcome reception. Members of the BREW community from around the world gathered at the Embarcadero for entertainment and great company in a party atmosphere. Attendees enjoyed BREW Special Reserve beer and a mix of savory and sweet fare, as palm readers, chalk artists, caricaturists and other entertainers set a festive mood. It was a fitting way to kick off two more days of networking, learning and fun.
