Beers of the World Live

In the masterclasses, visitors got the chance to take a more in depth look at some world class beers, hosted by some of the most knowledgeable people in the industry.

Beer brands available at the show included: 703 Alhambra Bateman’s Caledonian Coopers Duvel Harviestoun Grolsch Fuller’s Budweiser Budvar.....
