Conference "Beer Stories: Continuation? Or unfulfilled expectations?"
April 15 | Tuesday
11.00 – 14.00
Conference Hall A, Pavilion 1
Russian people's love for beer and natural fermented beverages began a long time ago. Beer is one of the oldest drinks, respected and loved along with honey and kvass.

The modern Russian beer market is large and multifaceted. However, it is very difficult to develop the brewing business in Russia today. There are many reasons for this: high competition, "expensive" money, a general decline in the purchasing power of the population, and the constantly changing and more complicated conditions of state regulation.

The conference "Beer Stories: Continuation? Or unfulfilled expectations?" for brewery managers, brewers, as well as professionals working in the field of brewing products, cider, poiré and mead production.
  • Who the conference is for
    The conference is designed for specialists in the field of beer production: owners of breweries and plants producing low-alcohol fermented beverages, chief engineers, technologists, quality and purchasing specialists, as well as all those interested in beer, beer drinks, cider, poiret and mead.
  • Invited participants
    The event will bring together market participants, experts and representatives of public authorities.
    Representatives of the Ministry of Finance, Rosalkogolregulirovanie, Chairman of the Technical Committee "Brewery products and non-alcoholic beverages" are invited to participate.
  • Topics and issues
    The year 2024 brought a number of unexpected surprises - excise taxes increased by 15%, kvass became an excisable commodity, the subjects of the Federation received additional rights to prohibit the sale of beer at retail.
    The conference will focus on the issues of strengthening state regulation and introduction of new mandatory requirements; excise tax growth; new measures to combat counterfeiting; the authorization for Internet beer trading that has not yet taken place; the entry into force of Technical Regulation 047.
