New “Cellar to Seller” event in September

United Kingdom | BFBi, Brewing, Food & Beverage Industry Association, has launched a new “Cellar to Seller” event taking place at Holywell Conference Centre in Loughborough on 10 September 2024.

The organisers see the dispense sector as niche and very much unseen by the wider industry and consumers, yet it is the point at which the quality of product can be most at risk: “This event enables industry to better understand its responsibilities in terms of the primary gas dispense system, improve knowledge for those working within it and develop a collaborative network for the future. We very much hope the day brings industry together in order to strengthen best practice and quality from the cellar to the bar to the consumer.”

Extensive programme

The event will deliver knowledge and information based talks, aiming to develop and strengthen the cellar service technician network; education to new keg brand owners of their responsibilities; one day of CPD points and certification for attendees; and a table top exhibition where dispense sector manufacturers, suppliers and installers will showcase their products and services.

The sessions will include a review of the recently published BBPA 6th Edition of the Pressure Code of Practice; a session aimed at new-to-keg brand owners, explaining what they need to know in order to ensure their beer is right for the outlet and the practicalities of how to access the primary dispense system; and a Q & A session for new-to-industry technicians, providing an opportunity for newer cellar service technicians to ask questions, learn the common faults and develop a network of peers for future consultation.
