European beer writers’ get together: a message from member Henri Reuchlin

Isn’t it time beer writers across Europe came together to discuss their trade?

Guild member Henri Reuchlin and Guild chairman Pete Brown are organising a get together of European beer writers on Wednesday September 25th in Brussels.

Join us to explore the desirability of a European chapter of the British Guild of Beer Writers. The programme starts with a visit to Boon Brewery in Lembeek, famous for its geuze and related beers. After that we’ll meet at the offices of Becomev in Brussels to discuss the European Beer Writers platform to improve the culture of beer and standards of writing. This time we’ll gladly follow the lead of the Britons, as the British Guild of Beer Writers has done just that over the past years.

The day ends with the yearly reception of the European Beer Consumers Union, EBCU.

If you want to join us on September 25th, please drop us a line at secretary@beerguild.co.uk  And while in Brussels, do not miss the Beer and Health symposium, organised by the Brewers of Europe on the previous day.
