After the roof renovation last autumn, the Guild House ("Zunfthaus") at VLB Berlin also got a new bar counter. The equipment was provided by the Radeberger Gruppe and officially handed over in January.
Already in test operation since December, it was officially handed over on 24 January 2023 - the modern and fully equipped new bar counter in the Berliner Zunfthaus on the VLB premises at Seestraße 13 in Berlin-Wedding. Wolfgang Janssen, head of the Radeberger Group's technical department, Frank Bleckmann, national sales director for gastronomy at the Radeberger Group, and Wolfhard Buß, managing director of the Berliner-Kindl-Schultheiss Brewery, were also present. After a brief temperature check, the tap system was given the go-ahead. Equipped with a cooling system for kegs, drawers, glass rinsing devices and a modern stainless steel tap column with two taps, the system replaces an old eqquipment that could no longer be repaired in a sensible way. The new bar is embedded in a rustic oak counter that found its way from Rostock to Berlin a few years ago.
Burghard Meyer, Head Master of the Berlin Brewers' Guild, and VLB Managing Director Dr Josef Fontaine, are delighted with the permanent loan: "We would like to express our sincere thanks to the Radeberger Group for their support. This means that our guild house once again has up-to-date dispensing technology that will benefit our guests and students."
The Guild House on the presmises at Seestraße 13 in Berlin-Wedding has served as a meeting place for students, friends and alumni of VLB Berlin and as a venue for the Berlin Brewers' Guild since 2008.
