Bar Convent Berlin, Germany

U.S. Ambassador Richard Grenell toured companies from Distilled Spirits Council of the United States (DISCUS) and Virginia Department of Agriculture at Bar Convent Berlin (BCB).  U.S. exhibitors successfully highlighted their large variety of products at the the show on October 8-10, 2018.  BCB has grown into one of the leading international trade fairs for the bar and beverages industry.  Each year the “Who’s Who” of this industry’s German and European representatives gather in Berlin.  Europe is the largest export market for U.S. distilled spirits, and Germany alone ranks fourth among export destinations, behind Canada, the UK, and Australia.
