Why I Attend “It is always highly relevant for brewing decision-makers to keep in touch with current technology and innovation. I had the opportunity to check and compare side-by-side several equipment suppliers and ask direct questions from their representatives, which was tremendously effective not only in gathering information but in negotiating pricing and installations. Take the time to attend drinktec, especially if your operation is considering new equipment, but also if you are just trying to keep current with what is out there in the brewing world. ” —KARL OCKERT, BREWMASTER, BRIDGEPORT BREWING CO., PORTLAND, ORE. 1. drinktec is the “World’s Fair for Beverage and Liquid Food Technology" The sheer size and scope of the exhibits and attendees that fill the 140,000-square-meter (more than 1.5-million-squarefoot) New Munich Trade Fair Centre is hard to imagine unless you've attended drinktec before.
