For the first time in its 136-year history, VLB Berlin is organizing four of its major brewery conferences on four different continents in one single year: Europe, Africa, Asia and America.
On its annual meeting in the Europa-Park Rust, Germany, on March 11, 2019, the VLB Technical Scientific Committee (TSC) has elected Dr. Stefan Kreisz, Erdinger Weißbräu, as new Chairman
VLB Berlin exhibits at two important trade fairs for the international brewing industry: The China Brew & China Beverage (23-26 Oct, Shanghai) and the Brau Beviale (13-15 Nov, Nuermberg, Germany)
With the Cervecería Kunstmann, the VLB has been able to win an ambitious and aspiring brewery from Chile as a member. The company with German roots is particularly successful in the craft and specialty beers segment in Chile.
As a trade fair with an accompanying conference program for brewers and manufacturers of alcoholic beverages, the Craft Drinks India was launched in Bangalore, India, for the first time on 4 and 5 July 2018. As part of the Beviale Family cooperation, the VLB Berlin conducted a sensory workshop in the context of this event.
As always, VLB Berlin attended to the Craft Brewers Conference, which took place in Nashville, Tennessee, USA, in early May. 3 lectures, a stand in the BrewExpo and the VLB Alumni & Friends Gathering were on the Agenda.
