drinktec Lounge
|
 | If you want to find an oasis of peace and relaxation in the hustle and
bustle of the fair, we recommend the drinktec Lounge in Hall B1, where
beer and soft drinks are being given away by Sinalco and König Ludwig
International, the brewery based in Kaltenberg Castle. |
The
bar is free but is linked to an appeal for funds and you should put at
least one euro in the donation box provided, as it is all in a good
cause. The proceeds are going to the ‘Hilfsverein Nymphenburg
e.V.’, which was founded by Duchess Marie of Bavaria, and is
committed to alleviating the extreme poverty of the elderly, the sick
and children in the former Eastern Bloc countries.
Karl
Schiffner, who runs his eponymous restaurant specialising in beer in
the Salzburg district of Aigen, was named winner of the first beer
sommelier world championship in Sonthofen in April – very
impressive, as the challenge was certainly not easy. Schiffner, an
Austrian, had to win through against 47 competitors from five
countries, answering questions such as, “What do the beers ale,
porter and stout have in common?”, or “What enzymes are
responsible for converting sugar into beer wort?”. Schiffner
passed the test with flying colours and will demonstrate samples of his
art – and of course a wide range of beers – at drinktec, on
15, 16 and 17 September from 11.30 am to 2.00 pm and from 4.00 pm to
5.30 pm in the drinktec Lounge in Hall B1. | | |
