The University of Kentucky is hosting a symposium entitled Craft Writing: Beer, The Digital, and Craft Culture on Saturday, February 15 from 10am-5pm. UK is about a three hour drive from Columbus, and as this seven hour symposium is completely free and open to the public, it’s a pretty awesome opportunity for anyone interested in getting into or learning more about crafting craft beer content.
