Andrea Kalrait

Director Exhibitions BrauBeviale, International Product Manager Beviale Family, Biersommelier, Germany

"For more than 25 years I have been involved in the development of the BrauBeviale trade fair in Nuremberg and have been significantly responsible for it. I am also responsible for the strategic and conceptual development of the Beviale Family, which also includes Beviale Moscow. My love for beer had a professional starting point, so to speak. In the meantime, it has become a passion with which I have already infected my family and many friends. This variety of enjoyment with just „one product“ is very impressive for me. As a certified beer sommelier, I have been taking part in various competitions (European Beer Star, World Beer Cup, Concurso, Brasileiro de Cerveijas, Brussel Beer Challenge etc.) as a jury member for years. The invitation to taste the Rosglavpivo is a pleasure and an honor for me."
