The VLB Berlin team was delighted to welcome numerous alumni, members, customers, friends and many other trade visitors to the VLB stand at this year's BrauBeviale in November in Nuremberg, Germany. Slightly fewer exhibitors (858) with an almost constant number of visitors (30,800) was the final conclusion of the organizer Yontex. Our conclusion is quite clear: BrauBeviale is still an important meeting place for the brewing and beverage industry in Germany and Europe with a high quality of trade visitors. Once again, the effort was worthwhile for us.

Additional highlights were the presentation of the new 2nd Spanish edition of “Tecnología para Cerveceros y Malteros” by Wolfgang Kunze at the VLB stand and the two lectures with tastings of sour fermented beverages by Dr. Martin Senz in the Craft Drinks Area.

Next year, BrauBeviale will take its regular break and will be replaced by drinktec, which will take place in Munich, Germany, from September 15 to 19, 2025.
