Guest Speakers
Kees Filius
Kees is a keen importer of South German beers, and is actually an empirical expert on the matter! Kees will explain to us what the existence of the Reinheitsgebot means for the Bambergse beer world and its drinking scene. For instance, how do small family breweries deal with the Reinheitsgebot? For tasting he will bring a famous Bambergs beer: Rauch beer (smoked beer).
Tasting: Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Märzen, 5,1%

For some of their beers they have been inspired by old German styles such as Lichtenhainer, Gose and more. This and more during his talk and tasting.
