Going global: BrauBeviale gears up for 2020 events in Italy, China, India and beyond

2020 is shaping up to be a busy year: with these events putting the spotlight on different markets before the flagship event returns to Nuremberg in November (November 10-12, 2020).

Beviale Moscow 2020: March 24 - 26, Moscow

Increasing beverage consumption in Eastern Europe is putting increasing demands on the supply industry. Consequently, there’s significant growth in small and medium-sized beverage manufacturers who are commanding a growing market share, including a significant increase in craft beer breweries. There’s also increased imports of processing and packaging machines from abroad.

This year, Beviale Moscow boasted 164 exhibitors and welcomed 6,239 trade visitors from 47 countries. The trade fair returns in 2020, covering the entire process chain from manufacturing to marketing.

Craft Beer Italy 2020: Milan

While Italy is often considered a wine country, beer consumption in Italy is actually higher than wine consumption.

It produces almost 16 million hl of beer every year, and features a lively craft beer scene. There are already 900 craft breweries and brew pubs.

Held in Milan, Craft Beer Italy covers everything from technology and raw materials to marketing, with a trade floor and conference programme.
