This year you will have the opportunity to attend a well-established European conference, designed especially for creative brewers who produce beer on a small scale in South Africa. Organised by the Research and Teaching Institute for Brewing in Berlin (VLB Berlin), the MicroBrew Symposium South Africa is an event with topics that are focused on technological and quality aspects of craft beer brewing on a professional level. In addition local success stories will be presented and discussed. Our aim is to share concentrated brewing education to improve brewing quality and performance, as well as providing a platform for networking and communication.
The event takes place on the 13th of September 2016 at Gallagher Convention Centre, Johannesburg, South Africa, directly preceding food & drink technology Africa. It addresses owners, brewers and brew masters from craft and pub breweries, as well as their suppliers. Ambitious home brewers and start-up brewers are also welcome.
In line with the symposium’s international character, the presentation language is English.
