Carnivale Brettanomyces (Brett Will Eat Everything)
A festival dedicated to the funkier side of beer launched today at Oedipus Brewing in Amsterdam. I caught up with Jan from De Bierkoning bottleshop to talk about his love for these organisms with funny names like Brettanomyces, Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, Acetobactor, Torulaspora, Kluyveromyes and Debaryomyces. Ya dig? Q: Carnivale Brettanomyces "A beer festival dedicated to Brettanomyces and other wild things" - please can you share with us how your festival idea came around, how long you've been going and where the festival is based? This will be the 4th episode. Number one took place in 2012. It was a one day event back then. As many things it sprouted during a beery conversation with Elaine Olsthoorn, staff at Bierproeflokaal In de Wildeman . I'm myself am a long time employee at De Bierkoning bottleshop. At In De wildeman they have yearly events, putting certain styles, or countries, in the spotlights. The German beer days, the UK
