Shedding light on the “Beers of Tomorrow”
The Belgian brewing conference – Chair J. De Clerck was established in 1983 by the universities of Leuven (KU Leuven) and Louvain-la-Neuve (UCL) in memory of Jean De Clerck (1902-1978) and is organized every 2 years. This year’s edition was held from 6 - 8 September 2015 in the historical city of Leuven, hometown of AB InBev and proud owner of the “Oude Markt”, a town square harboring over 40 cafés in a row, often referred to as “the longest bar in the world”. It is undeniably the ideal venue for the ambitious 15th edition of the Belgian Brewing Conference. With 275 participants, this edition was sold out and by far the most well-attended to date. With 31 top-class speakers from the beer world and a plethora of degustation beers, Leuven was even more than usual the “place to beer”!
