RBESG Crossing Borders. Programme and info.

Wed, 22 May 2013 06:03:31 EST

Posted by Martinus

It�s time for more information about the upcoming Ratebeer European Summer Gathering. For those who don�t know: the RBESG is a long weekend where people from all over Europe who are passionate about beer come together and visit beer related places. This year it will take place in The Netherlands and Belgium. The date is set on Thursday June 27 �till Monday July 1st. The date was chosen because it is at the beginning of Summer, when it�s easier to find hotels and flights, and brewers aren�t on holidays yet. The programme is: Thursday june 27: Welcome Day Arrival day. Late afternoon: Aperitif in Utrecht. Evening: Beer Diner. Evening: Beer Party hosted by Rooie Dop Friday june 28: Crossing Borders Bus trip. Visits to Emelisse (Kamperland), Antwerp (pubcrawl) and De Dochter van de Korenaar (Baarle-Hertog). Evening: Barbecue hosted by De Dochter van de Korenaar. Saturday june 29: Grand Tasting Morning: explore Utrecht (free time) Afternoon: visit to De Molen, Bodegraven. Evening: Grand Tasting. Diner provided at De Molen. Sunday june 30: Sunday Morning: Free time Early afternoon: Visit to La Trappe. Lunch. Afternoon: Visit the small but cosy outdoor beerfestival in Tilburg. Monday july 1: Facultative: Sour Head XTC For those interested, we arrange a bus trip to the area around Brussels on Monday. Lunch at De Heeren van Liedekercke, visits to one or two breweries and the city of Brussels. This goes through when there are enough participants. Changes can still be made to the programme, but we expect only for the better The participation fee isn�t completely known yet, as it depends on the number of expected participants. It is organised by volunteers and we will try to keep a relatively low price for it all. More (and updated) information can be found at: rbesg.wordpress.com If you wish to join us at the RBESG �Crossing Borders�, send an e-mail to rbesg.crossingborders(at)gmail.com. Do include if you plan to participate in the programme on Monday July 1st. We like it if you post in this forum too, but it doesn�t count as an application. The RBESG is open for all people who wish to participate who happen to be in / coming to Europe. It is on a first come first serve basis: the amount of places are limited, as the different breweries and places we visit often have a maximum number of visitors. If it comes to it, preference will be given to people who apply for the whole event (Thursday-Sunday, Monday is optional), though a number of places are reserved for people who can only join certain days (please do include in your application if you plan to join only a day / few days, and state which). In any case: applying early is advised. Hope to see you soon at the RBESG!

7 Stern in Vienna took a hit in quality?

Wed, 22 May 2013 06:03:31 EST

Posted by Marko

I�ve heard both rumors and direct "witness reports" that one of my favorite brewpubs, 7 Stern Br�u, which sorta served as Vienna�s more traditional style-wise balance to the modern craft experimentation at the 1516 Brewing, has undergone a change for the worse. Some claim that they�ve changed the malts they use for their beers, and, for example, according to heavy, who�s been there, their Rauchbier, maybe the best outside of Bamberg, is not even a shade of its former self. If that�s true, that�s a damn shame...

Hey Irish RB�ers.. Do we have enough interest here to do a monthly tasting? Or even a monthly meet up? We could always piggyback on some of the Beoir meetups but I was wondering if we could do a Ratebeer one? Thoughts? Al (I�m based in Dublin)

So, what�s the normal procedure? Joes and I would love to enter the bid for NL & B border region. End of June, because it�s still off-season and prices (flight, hotels) should be lower. Are there other bids? Will there be a vote? And who would be interested in coming? Cheers, Tinus

Hofbrau Berlin

Wed, 22 May 2013 06:03:31 EST

Posted by BlackHaddock

Hi, I was in Berlin the other week and popped into the new Hofbrau Beer hall near AlexanderPlatz. I note it hasn�t been added to the Berlin Mitte place listings nor has any of its beers been added to the data base. I am happy to add it to the place listings in no Berliner wishes too, but I don�t know if the beers are brewed in house or elsewhere: anybody know? <*))))))><

Irish craft beer village 13th - 18th March

Wed, 22 May 2013 06:03:31 EST

Posted by garthicus

Formerly known as the Irish Craft Beer Festival, the Irish Craft Beer Village is delighted to announce its return to the IFSC. The Village opens at 12pm on Wednesday, runs daily from until 10pm (except for Friday and Saturday, it will run until 12.30am). Free admission from 12pm � 7pm Wednesday 13th to Friday 15th. Admission is �5 at the door after 7pm, and all day Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I went yesterday, small set up promising, a little sad though that only 2 new beers were specifically brewed for this event but it�s a pretty good gateway to craftbeer for the masses. Fairly reasonably priced and if you bring proof of entry to �The Brew Dock� right beside it, they�ll give you a free pint of Galway Bay beer. Hopefully we�ll see many more Irish events in the coming months and years.

Hi, I�ve searched the web for information (via here of coursehttp://www.europeanbeerguide.net/#france but have found nothing of use, the area I�m hitting appears to be a beer desert. The trip is for a wedding, but we intend to stay a few days either side and have a holiday at the same time. If anyone has any insider information of a decent beer bar or shop I�d really like to hear from them. <*))))))><

Posted by Lowenbrau

I was wondering, since many of us, spanish beer-geeks will be attending BBF Barcelona Beer Festival 2013, next march, so maybe we can meet and share a few ones. This year i can only attend on sunday 10th (the whole day fyi), but it would be great to get to know each others. I know teddybeer is not going, a pity, but probably some of you will. If you are interested just let me know. Cheers.

RB UK summer event of sorts ...

Wed, 22 May 2013 06:03:31 EST

Posted by Theydon_Bois

Have moved this out of the RBESG thread to avoid confusion and keep it on topic. Not a bid or a rival to RBESG, or indeed an official voted for type of event - simply something I put the feelers out for and a few of the UK crew are coming on, but if anyone wants to have a beery weekend in England I am organising this event the weekend following the proposed RBESG event and all would be welcome. A good way for overseas raters to meet up with a bunch of the UK crew and experience some English pubs a little off the beaten track when compared to a typical trip to the UK. http://www.ratebeer.com/event/19751/ http://www.ratebeer.com/forums/black-country-pub-crawl-organised-from-london--anyone-game_223013.htm Not sure if there are any other events on in the UK around this weekend - the list of beer festivals on the CAMRA site presently runs until the end of June. If folks are staying in London its a near permanent beer fest these days and I and (I�m sure others) would be up for a meet or a tasting. Regards, Colin
