1st VLB North American Brewing Conference
14.09.2026 - 16.09.2026

Toronto, Kanada

 

About the Event

VLB Berlin, in collaboration with other scientists, is looking forward to presenting the latest results from initiatives and research for the malting and brewing industry at the Holiday Inn Airport Hotel in Toronto.

Furthermore, as big CAPEX investments are less attractive in the current economic situation, there is an opportunity to utilize time to review available installations and processes in detail, scouting for smart upgrades, retrofits, or process optimizations that improve profitability throughout the brewing and packaging process. Solutions presented by sponsors – with hands-on experience and return on investment examples – shall shine a light on opportunities from various angles.

In addition, there will be an optional Sensory Workshop on Thursday, 17 September 2026.
