Join Us for the Brewing Industry’s Most Anticipated Night of the Year
Step out from behind the tanks and into an evening of exceptional beer, conversation, and celebration at the IBC Gala Dinner, the official industry night of the International Brewers Collective. This is your chance to come together with fellow brewers, innovators, and tastemakers from across the globe for an exclusive night of inspiration and indulgence.
We’re thrilled to welcome Matthias Trum, 6th-generation brewmaster and guardian of the legendary Schlenkerla brewery. From the heart of Bamberg’s old town, Matthias continues his family’s centuries-old tradition of brewing Rauchbier (smokebeer) in one of the only two breweries in the world that still use traditional smoked malts.
Expect an insightful and passionate keynote as Matthias shares stories of heritage brewing, historical beer styles, and the innovation behind Schlenkerla’s global cult following – including the creation of their newest smoked lagers.
