Support the Seattle Beer Community by being a Sponsor!

Greetings all beer lovers and purveyors of beer,

It is that time of year to start thinking about Seattle Beer Week 2010!
Last years Seattle Beer Week was an enormous success for everyone that participated.  It was a learning curve for everyone and we are confident that 2010 Beer Week will be better than ever.
Last year we had an average of 12 events each night happening across the city.  We received some great press about the event and even had the mayor proclaim it as an official recognized week long event.  Speaking with other industry insiders, the Seattle Beer Week was in the top three in the country for the originality of events and people participating.
The goal of Seattle Beer Week is to celebrate and showcase the tight-knit beer community of the Northwest, especially the Seattle beer market.  We have world class beers being brewed here as well as imports that are found nowhere else.  We have world class bars and restaurants that specialize and care about the beer and food they serve.  What better way to showcase this passion and love than to celebrate it for an entire week!  Our beer community was built and nurtured by all of you and that is why we need your participation to make this the best beer week out there.

We plan on 2010 being even bigger and more publicized than last year.  We will have more local breweries participating and more out of town brewers attending.  The beer world will have its eyes fixed on Seattle for that week.  One major change from last year, will be our new media partner the Seattle Weekly.  By working with the Seattle Weekly, we will reach more people in our advertising and in “getting the word out”.  Some of the main benefits to having them as our partner, will be to reach a new audience that can be exposed to the Seattle beer culture and thus have new patrons and beer lovers.  Another very important benefit that the Seattle Weekly will provide is the Event Program Guide.  We plan on having a complete program guide that will be included in every Seattle Weekly paper that will outline the events and the happenings throughout the week.  All sponsors will get extra copies of the program guide to help spread the word of their events.  We will focus on the Sponsors in this program guide and everyone that is a sponsor will have discounted advertising rates to go along with the Seattle Beer Week ads.
We have also partnered up with the Seattle Tourism Board to further help spread the beer week word.  This will help us reach more people and business outside of the industry and expose your establishment further.

Many things will be the same as last year, just more organized and improved.  The same basic idea of the larger sponsors getting the “headline” event for a particular day will stay the same.  The website will still play a very large role in listing all of the events.  May 13 and 23rd are reserved for the opening and closing ceremonies.  Similar to the opening ceremony at Pike last year, this year will be at Hales.  Hales Brewing will be crafting this years official Seattle Beer Week Beer.  We hope to have the new Mayor of Seattle join us in tapping the ceremonial keg at Hales.  We are also looking into having the closing ceremony be a beer festival that will feature one-offs and unique beers from all over the world.  More information will be made available soon.
Sponsorship deadline will be no later than March 15.  This gives us time to get advertising in all the necessary media, get the T-shirts printed and so on.
