German Hop Day – Tettnang, August 2009

To further the dialogue with the brewing industry the German hop growers (Association of German Hop Growers, Hop Growers Association Tettnang and HVG Hop Processing Cooperative) invite engineers and buyers from breweries throughout the world to participate in the event which takes place from 21-22 August 2009 and is themed “From farmer to brewer”.

Renowned scientists and brewers from all over the world will present and discuss the question whether beer still needs aroma hops – and in what amount, if at all.

In addition to the papers and speeches announced the comprehensive programme also includes a boat trip on the Lake Constance and a visit to the opera Aida by Giuseppe Verdi at the Bregenz Festival on Friday night and guided tours through the hop museum and hop research centre (keyword: Hop harvest – live!) on Saturday.

A registration form and the detailed programme are available at www.deutscher-hopfen.de and German Hop Day 2009: programme (the number of participants is limited).
