    This comes way early, but what the hell:
    I work for a private University in Chicago. In August 2016, we're having a satellite conference for IFLA (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions) and we're looking for corporate sponsors. Has anyone dealt with local brewers (beer, wine and/or spirits) for sponsorship?

    Any advice you have would be much appreciated.

    Thanks,

    1st, ask yourself "why would they want to sponsor this event, what do they have to gain?" because I assure you, they're asking that themselves. It's very hard to get donated product, as they need to feel there's a symbiotic relationship. I wish you well on your search in quenching the thirst (for free) of those partyhardy librarians.

    I will indeed, thanks!

    Just throwing this out there - Lagunitas seems to get involved in lots of stuff, I see their name/logo among the sponsors at the bottom of the page on quite a bit of event publicity.
