And the best part is: all the talks include tastings.

On the menu: Canta Lupulus by Oersoep, a special brewed 'Trois' beer by De Kromme Haring, Kinky Koos by Two Chefs & De Prael, Boysbier, 2 special dry hopped Oettingers. And if you come early we have a special surprise for you..

Stephen Grigg from brewery De Kromme Haring

Stephen is an avid hobbyist brewer and also occasionally contract brewer at De Kromme Haring. Especially for Bierberaad he brewed an experimental new beer, fermented with 'trois'; the fruity brett strain that recently has been revealed to not be brett. For Bierberaad he will elaborate on how to convert an idea into a finished beer, while creatively making use of the resources you have available. Also he will show off the Braumeister brewing set and the many potential ways it could be used.
Tasting: Special brewed 'Trois' beer

Zowie Jannink from La Bolleur

La Bolleur is a multidisciplinary design studio, founded by a group of thinkers and makers that take having fun seriously. And having fun almost equals beer. For the Huttenfestival in Tilburg they made a draft installation, including a beer tower, an ice-tunnel and a bar. But you also might know them from their own brewed and branded beer: Boys Beer.

Hoptasting with Simon Buijs and Henriëtte

What hop do you want in your beer? Hops are the bitter female flowers that are used to oppose the sweetness of the malt (bitter hop) and/or to flavour beer (aroma hop). But it also stabilises the beer and keeps it from turning bad. In this talk we discuss known and less known, classic and new hopping. We will taste and compare a basic beer that has been dry-hopped with different hop-types, leading to different flavors.
Tasting: 2 types of dry-hopped beer, made by Henriette

Aafje Sierksma from Kennisinstituut Bier

Moderate beer consumption can fit in a healthy lifestyle. But is it wise to drink beer after sports, or is non-alcoholic beer a better alternative? And what about the calories, does beer give you a belly or are there other causes? Are there healthy fibers in your beer? Aafje Sierksma will give an overview of the current state of knowledge regarding the health effects of moderate consumption of beer, and it’s role in an adult’s healthy lifestyle.
Tasting: Canta Lupulus by Oersoep

And, we will take a closer look at you! What is your Gut Feeling telling you? The results of this test will be presented at Bierberaad.
