Craft Brewers Conference 2026 is a wrap! As usual, the beer industry’s annual “Super Bowl” equivalent of national trade events was as gratifying as it was expectedly chock-full of brand activations. Below are some select highlights from our nonstop week in the City of Brotherly Love.
News and Press
As we were preparing to converge in Philly, we published two major corporate announcements.
First, we were incredibly proud to share that we raised $20M to accelerate Sennosystem, our AI-powered intelligent fermentation system. This round brought our total historical funding to more than $50M.
Second, timed conveniently—and perhaps intentionally—with Day 1 of CBC, we unveiled our Intelligent Fusion Module. For the first time, five critical fermentation dimensions are unified into a single compact, in-tank module, allowing producers to achieve approximately 40% greater sensor density within the device than was previously possible.
BrewExpo America
It wouldn’t be a proper CBC if we didn’t roll deep. Fifteen of Sennos’ best engaged with hundreds of industry professionals throughout the week. The epicenter from where all things pointed was our booth #2106. Cheers and appreciation to our team who showed up, stepped up, and repped us with the utmost integrity.
And, just outside of the trade show hall, we had a secondary opportunity to showcase our brand new Intelligent Fusion Module, now included standard as part of our patent-pending SennosM3 in-tank sensor.
Lastly, congrats to Matt Lincoln, of Fremont Brewing, who won our iPad giveaway! He’s pictured below with our West Coast exec, Chris Hudson. Thumbs up, Matt!
All About Beer & Brewer to Brewer Podcasts
As a sponsor of two of the industry’s most respected podcasts, we were privileged to be on site, Aug. 20-21, during live recordings at Human Robot. Thanks to John Holl for the gracious hospitality and esteemed mentions during both days’ events.
After two days off-site at Human Robot, John Holl brought The Don of Beer, Don Tse to our booth to interview our Founder & CEO, Jared Resnick, alongside Chris Baker, of Mother Earth Brew Co., about the intersection of technology and beer for a bonus episode of All About Beer.
Craft Beer Professionals’ Welcome to Philly Party
We’ve been industry ambassadors of CBP for a hot minute. Over the last few years, Andrew Coplon and team have curated a lineup of wildly packed CBC opening night parties. And this year, we sponsored it, set up shop at Yards Brewing Co., broke bread with our team and attendees, and racked up a pretty respectable bar tab.
Sponsored Session
On Day 3, we had the opportunity to present the educational session, From Guesswork to Confidence: Leveraging Data-Driven Fermentation for Quality, Efficiency & Profit. Moderated by one of our good friends and brewing educator, Adam Mills (known as Adam Makes Beer), our panel included two active brewers, Chris Baker, of Mother Earth Brew Co. (ID), and Jaron Shepherd, of Foolproof Brewing (CT). They were joined by two of our brightest, Kristen Ewer, Senior Brewing Expert, and Dave Frizzell, Senior Product Development Specialist.
Dear Brewers Association, Yards Brewing Co., Human Robot Beer, and Philadelphia, thanks for having us!
And, hey, San Antonio—we’ll see you in 2027!
Cheers!
Sennos
