THE BEVERAGES
At the IBC Gala Dinner, we’re not just pouring beer — we’re pouring history, craftsmanship, and flavour from one of the world’s most revered breweries: Schlenkerla of Bamberg, Germany.
This exclusive tasting line-up is only available to Gala Dinner guests — and trust us, it’s worth it.
Eiche Doppelbock (8%)
Smoked over oak wood, this strong winter beer is smooth, malty, and packed with depth.
Classic Rauchbier Märzen (5.1%)
The OG. Deep, rich smoked malt with a balanced, smooth finish.
Weichsel Rotbier mit Kirschholz (4.6%)
A smokey red lager – Fruity, sweet smoke with berry notes
Helles Marzen (5.1%)
A traditional Märzen style with a twist. It retains the rich, full-bodied maltiness you love, but with a lighter touch of smoked malt.
Rauchbier Weizen (5.2%)
A unique wheat beer with gentle smoky aroma and the soft spice of traditional wheat malt.
