1.) First things first, tell us about BrewEngland – who you are and where can we find you?
We are Adam and Sarah, craft beer enthusiasts who have a soft spot for New England breweries, brewpubs and brews. We travel around New England touring breweries as well as restaurants and fine pubs that serve New England craft beers We attend special beer events/tastings, and share our “beerventues” with the world. You can hit up Brew England for information on upcoming beer events in the area. Adam is also a home brewer and has launched a new section of the site dedicated to that. We can be found at www.brewengland.com.

2.) What will Blogtoberfest attendees learn from BrewEngland?
Attendees can learn about the world of craft beer, with a specific concentration on New England area brewers and breweries, without any pretense.

3.) Do you encourage reader participation (Feedback, beer suggestions, brewery recommendations?) or is this a chronicle for the two of you?
We definitely encourage participation. We love comments and will always reply. We try to solicit names of bars/restaurants we haven’t been to, as well as specific beers that we should try out.

4.) Blogtoberfest has evolved over the years and isn’t just for blogs anymore — what social media networks can we follow BrewEngland on and do you do giveaways or promote specials to these followers?
Currently BrewEngland can be found on the web at www.brewengland.com, our Facebook Fan Page (Brew England), as well as Twitter – @brewengland. We have done a few giveaways in the past, and have some ideas that will encourage interaction of our readers/followers to participate in order to win cool prizes. We are also working with some local brewpubs and are in the planning stages of hosting special beer centric events in the upcoming months.

5.) Who are you looking forward to meeting at Blogtoberfest?
We’re looking to meet interesting new people, bloggers, or just those who have any interest in beer whatsoever. We believe that people who don’t drink craft beer are just looking for a reason to start – we have some suggestions that make it easy for anyone to transition to “better beer”.

6.) Do you have a good networking tip for first time Blogtoberfest attendees?
Talk to everyone! This is Sarah’s 4th time at Blogtoberfest and if there is one thing she has learned it’s dont sit in the corner all night, step out and introduce yourselves. Its a friendly crowd and the more you socialize the more you get out of it!

I poked around the site, as I did with everyone who signed up, and this is a group of smart cookies. A few of them will be at the event mingling. Don’t forget to say hi!

Xconomy.com donated some cash funds to make the event fun. And delicious (their much appreciated money went towards some snacks!) Enjoy!

Pretty great don’t you agree?

Marketing Over Coffee is the brainchild of John Wall and Christopher Penn. It is a podcast that covers, as you may have already guessed, marketing. Probably while drinking coffee. But I’m just guessing on that one …!

The guys cover all kinds of marketing topics and trends in their podcast which they record every business Wednesday at 5:30am Eastern at a coffee shop in Natick, MA.

Go stop by the site, subscribe to their podcast on iTunes and remember to say hi at Blogtoberfest!

Marketing Over Coffee is donated a $25 Dunkin’ Donuts gift certificate for one lucky winner in the random drawing to take place at Blogtoberfest!!

Go check it out and get that site meter working double time!

If you haven’t checked out The M Show, I highly recommend it. John is a smart, well spoken marketer (and no he didn’t pay me to say that!). Not into podcasts? Check out his blog Ronin Marketeer.

If you’re as big a coffee drinker as I am, you’ll be pleased to hear that:

On behalf of The M Show, John has donated a $25 Starbucks gift certificate for the random prize drawing. Fancy!
