With a history going back thousands of years, there are many traditional beer styles that have been forgotten. But history offers a rich source of inspiration to rejuvenate old brewing traditions and adapt them to modern times.
This session highlights two inspiring examples from Europe and and a less familiar, but no less inspiring one, from Africa. Lars Marius Garshol introduces us to the world of Kveik and Ulrike Genz explains how she revived real Berliner Weiße. Traditional beer culture is not limited to Europe alone. Umqombothi has been a staple for large parts of the population of South Africa. Lethu Tshabangu has fused this century old brewing tradition with saison from Europe. In this way, he has brought two worlds together.
