Many of those attending have been worried this summer because the dates for 2019 had not been announced. However it has finally arrived, a few days later tan we had become accustomed to in recent years. What is the reason for the change of dates? 2019 is turning out to be a very intense year for us. In addition to the Beer Fair, we are devoted to producing large and small events all over the island, and it has been difficult to find a date. But we believe that October can be an ideal date for our public and for the type of tourism that visits us. What are the new additions the fair brings in 2019? Well, after 12 editions, and even though it seems impossible, we are still coming up with new ideas; this year, I would highlight the fact that we are going to run on Sunday, opening at 12:30 PM. At 13:00, we will be visited by more than 100 Vespas that are on the island for the occasion of the 3rd Sargantanas Vespa meeting. At 14:00, do not miss out on tasting the paella. From 16:00 on, it will be time to enjoy the ‘80s and’ 90s music performed by local artists, and we will also do a really interesting workshop about “How to make your own beer at home.”The inauguration will take place on Friday at 7:00 p.m. and on Saturday we are going to have DJs Petit & Vazquez from “Children of the 80’s”. Last year, in 2018, are we right in saying there were 200 varieties? How do you organise so many number different beers for an event like this? Yes, we even had more than the figure of 200 varieties. I think it is one of the things that causes the biggest surprise and people ask us about at the Fair. It is hard to believe, but we assure you that there are (laughs). It is difficult to manage such a high number of varieties, to be honest. It can be done thanks to the great effort made by all the distributors that come and bring new varieties that never cease to surprise us.If we go back a bit to its origins...
