Packaging #00 - Intro

By

For the present month, I thought of developing a series of mini posts: with a common background topic, and brief in content. While also looking for a certain degree of reflection, the idea was to make lighter publications: session posts, to give it an absurd name, in line with what we do with certain beers.

That's how this series of daily entries is born, with the idea to talk about different elements of packaging to be found in beers that are either bottled or canned, based on my own experiences -without seeking for oddities on the Internet-. And with a touch of humour. One could think there is not much to it, but believe me that there is really more than what it seems at fierst. Plus all these elements are potentially collectible.

In parallel, I will drop the occasional personal story, and will tease different collectives within our industry. Oh, and I will also laugh at myself, of course, as a diogenesian hoarder of beer-related items. We have all been through this, at some point or another. I hope you have fun!

To start with, tomorrow we will set the standard of packaging. A point from where to start this summer journey.


Salut i birra!


The entire series can be followed with the label Series-Packaging.

The Session , a.k.a. Beer Blogging Friday , is an opportunity once a month for beer bloggers from around the world to get together and write from their own unique perspective on a single topic. Each month, a different beer blogger hosts the Session, chooses a topic and creates a round-up listing all of the participants, along with a short pithy critique of each entry. (more on Brookston Beer Bulletin ). So, here we are. It was 4 months ago that I wrote Jay and Stan suggesting a topic for a future call. I was reflecting on the role played by Beer Festivals (or "Beer Fairs", as we locally call the ones with the brewers serving their own beer) here in Barcelona and thought it would be interesting to know other people's point of view on the matter. Time's flown since then, and now I find myself happily hosting my first Session. But let's get to it.

Self-identity - Views on the outcome of the BBC 2020

The celebration of the Barcelona Beer Challenge - hereinafter BBC - awards ceremony , which until now had always been held during the weekend of the Barcelona Beer Festival, took place this past Wednesday and Thursday remotely, through YouTube Live, in response to the confinement limitations due to Covid-19. Beyond the impact of the BBC at an international level, the relevance of this event for our industry, at national level, is undeniable. That is why I wanted to take the opportunity to sleep very few hours last night and make some reflections on the results . Let's go there.
