BrauBeviale

When planning your visit, knowing the BrauBeviale Nuremberg dates and opening hours is essential for scheduling meetings with brewery owners, production managers, beverage technologists, and procurement specialists in the global beverage industry.

Professional buyers in this industry evaluate more than individual machines. System integration capability, total cost of ownership, line efficiency (OEE), product integrity (carbonation, taste), sustainability metrics (water/energy reduction), and flexibility for small batches and diverse beverage types all influence procurement and partnership decisions. BrauBeviale Nuremberg provides a professional environment for exploring developments across brewing and beverage processing technology, filling and packaging solutions, raw materials, ingredients, and digitalization.

Why Visit BrauBeviale Nuremberg?

For professional visitors, BrauBeviale Nuremberg offers a concentrated setting to compare beverage technologies, discover emerging innovations, evaluate suppliers, and follow developments across the global beverage industry within one event. The event brings together manufacturers of brewing, beverage processing, filtration, and filling technology, suppliers of raw materials and ingredients, providers of packaging solutions and logistics systems, and companies offering hygiene, laboratory, measurement, and digitalization solutions with brewery owners, production managers, beverage technologists, and procurement specialists.

Exhibition Background & Industry Context

BrauBeviale is the leading international investment goods trade fair for the beverage industry, covering the entire production and marketing chain—from raw materials, technologies, and logistics to marketing ideas—serving as the central platform for breweries, beverage producers, and fillers of all sizes. Under the 2026 theme “All Beverages. One Future.,” the event expands its focus to embrace the complete beverage landscape, including beer, mineral water, soft drinks, fruit juice, wine, sparkling wine, spirits, and alcohol-free beverages.

Key topics for 2026 include sustainability (water and energy reduction), portfolio flexibility for small batches and diverse beverage types (hard seltzers, non-alcoholic beers, RTDs), dealcoholisation technology, digital traceability and smart production, raw material innovation and supply chain security, and modular, scalable technology platforms.

The event covers the full spectrum of the beverage industry: brewing and beverage processing technology, filling and packaging solutions, raw materials (malt, hops, yeast, fruit ingredients, flavourings) and ingredients, hygienic design and cleaning-in-place systems, laboratory and quality control equipment, process automation, digital traceability and smart production tools, water treatment and wastewater recovery, energy, gas supply and carbonation systems, and beverage marketing and point-of-sale solutions.

Is This Trade Fair Right for You?

Relevance depends on your role within the beverage value chain and whether your objectives involve sourcing equipment, identifying technology partners, evaluating raw material suppliers, or understanding market trends in the global beverage industry.

Ideal For

• Brewery owners, craft brewers, beverage manufacturers, winery operators, soft drink producers, mineral water bottlers, fruit juice processors, and distilleries
• Production managers, beverage technologists, quality assurance specialists, and procurement teams
• Packaging professionals, logistics providers, and supply chain managers
• Manufacturers of brewing, beverage processing, filtration, and filling technology for all scales
• Suppliers of raw materials (malt, hops, yeast, fruit ingredients), flavourings, and additives
• Providers of packaging solutions (bottles, cans, kegs), labeling, packaging technology, and logistics systems
• Companies offering hygienic design, cleaning-in-place, laboratory, measurement, control technology, and digitalization solutions
• Media, associations, and investors monitoring innovation across the beverage sector

These professionals can assess product ranges, compare technical capabilities, examine integration documentation, and evaluate system performance, total cost of ownership, and long-term partnership potential.

May Be Less Relevant For

BrauBeviale may be less relevant for suppliers of finished beverages for retail or direct consumer sales without a B2B focus on production or marketing investment goods. Companies in unrelated food processing sectors without a clear application or technology transfer story for beverage manufacturing may find the professional audience’s expectations challenging.

Professional suppliers should be prepared to discuss system integration, line efficiency, product integrity, sustainability metrics, and flexibility for diverse beverage types.

• Define your strategic priorities: Identify whether your focus is on brewing and processing technology, filling and packaging, raw materials, digitalization, or sustainability.
• Prepare questions about system integration and line efficiency: For potential partners, ask about total cost of ownership, line efficiency (OEE), product integrity (carbonation, taste), integration with upstream and downstream equipment, and performance guarantees.
• For machinery manufacturers: Demonstrate how your solution reduces water and energy consumption per hectolitre, allows rapid changeovers between different beverage types, and integrates seamlessly with existing lines.
• For raw material and ingredient suppliers: Focus on supply chain security, consistency, and innovation support. Provide application support and new recipe concepts to help producers develop unique products.
• For digitalization providers: Demonstrate a single, measurable outcome from data. Show how predictive maintenance can increase yield or how vision-controlled systems can reduce waste.
• For sustainability-focused solutions: Present clear metrics on water and energy reduction, waste management, and sustainable production.
• For dealcoholisation and alcohol-free production: Showcase alcohol removal systems, flavour preservation, and low-alcohol beverage development capabilities.
• Divide the exhibitor landscape by your priorities: Before the event, group exhibitors by key areas — processing technology, packaging, raw materials, digitalization — to structure your visit efficiently. The fair takes place from 10 to 12 November 2026 at the Nuremberg Exhibition Centre across Halls 6 to 12 .
