With retroactive effect from January 1, 2022, Jan Biering was given overall responsibility for the VLB Research Institute for Beer and Beverage Production. He had been operationally managing the institute for a year.

Jan Biering, a research associate, lecturer and consultant at VLB since 2012, took over operational management of the VLB Research Institute for Beer and Beverage Production (FIBGP) on February 1, 2021. His predecessor Dr. Roland Pahl had left VLB in January 2021.

After one year, the VLB management has now expressed its full confidence in Jan Biering and appointed him as the responsible head of the Research Institute for Beer and Beverage Production: "Jan Biering took on additional responsibility last year under difficult conditions. Since then, he has proven that he is committed and competent in taking up this important management position at VLB and that he has an exemplary approach to customers and his staff. We as the management have therefore expressed our full confidence in him retroactively to January 1, 2022, and entrusted him with the overall management of our FIBGP. We look forward to a further successful cooperation," said the two VLB managing directors Dr. Josef Fontaine and Gerhard Andreas Schreiber.
