The Maine Brewers Guild is in the market for a health and dental benefits provider for 1,500 people who are employed at its members throughout the state.
It s looking to pick a provider by May 1, with a request for proposals open until March 1. We re not doing a [New England] Brew Summit or planning beer festivals this year, Sean Sullivan, executive director of the Maine Brewers Guild and a 2016 Mainebiz Next List honoree, said by phone on Tuesday.
Instead during this turbulent time, we re trying to brighten the light at the end of the tunnel for our members by letting them know we re not only going to help them get through this, but by creating health insurance for all member breweries and their staff.
