RAISING THE BAR
New bar launches with creative offerings.
The most influential bar trade fair, Bar Convent Berlin (BCB) goes online this year as BCB Pouring Digital. Trade visitors will find virtual product presentations, lectures and seminars, alongside digital networking opportunities, and the best part – all content will be free with a valid online registration. Look out for speakers such as Tiffanie Barriere (bartender and historian), Anistatia Miller and
Jared Brown (Mixellany founders), Peter Lebese (beverage and cocktail developer, SIP Exclusive), Kiowa Bryan (Spiribam brand manager), Terry Sowah (global winner of Remy Martin Bartender Talent Academy), Reinhard Pohorec (hospitality consultant) and more, speaking on a variety of topics such as the Covid-19 crisis on hospitality, social justice issues, and esoteric bar crafts.
Another programme, 7 Bars in 7 Days will present bars from around the world, include Katana Kitten (New York), Kwant (London), Velvet (Berlin) and our very own Jigger & Pony – who’ll be doing an in-depth walkthrough of their space to show viewers around the world what it looks like inside Asia’s Best Bar 2020.
Pouring Digital takes place 12 to 18 October, and will be bundled alongside Global Bar Week on the websites of BCB Berlin,
BCB Brooklyn, BCB São Paulo and Imbibe Live. barconvent.com/en/
