The fourth edition of Vini, Birre, Ribelli (VBR) will take place on 25 and 267 of November 2017.

As for the first three editions, this exhibition will be exclusively craft, sustainable, organic and mostly natural products. Bringing together in a single location the beer and wine’s alternative worlds and food that is good, clean and fair is definitively unique in Belgium.

As for the third edition, we will have several collaborations :

Who's who

Enrico D'Ambrogio

His secret dream hidden in a drawer is to open a wine-bar in Japan, the country which he likes. In a shorter future, his project is to plant olive-trees in the ground which left him his father in the Center of Italia. Today, when his work of political analyst for an Institution of UE let him free time, he takes it to visit natural producers in Italy, France, Germany and Slovenia.
Since 2009, once a month, he organizes in Brussels its “Fridays of the Wine” thanks to which he contributes to spread the culture of the wine of quality, obeying in that way the mission of communication that the regretted Dino Marchi entrusted to those, like Enrico, had obtained the Diploma of Sommelier from the Italian Association of the Sommeliers. And last but not least, Enrico follows now the courses of the ONAV (National Organization of the Wine Tasters).

Jean Hummler

Born in Alsace, Jean Hummler comes very young to settle in Brussels, and after having worked like employee in the bar “Moeder Lambic”, it begins, with the assistance of two friends, the establishment on his own account to impose on it its radical vision of the concept of artisan beer.
Unrepentant fan of the adventure of the Brewery Cantillon, his friendship with Jean Van Roy provided the foundations of the discovery of a unique world which gives to the beer its higher noble and popular letters.
With the opening of its second establishment, “Moeder Fontainas”, Jean Hummler proposes beloved and varied beers, in the manner of a sommelier.

Patrick Böttcher

Pharmacist of profession, Patrick Böttcher impassioned himself very early for the wines and the obviousness to have to find against industrial and formatted alive wines, natural wines produced by artisan wine growers stimulated him to create the www.vinslibres.net, blog which it has now been animated for 3 years and for which he organizes many tasting.

During the five last 5 years, his travels have made it discover the attractive world of Vini Naturali d' Italia for which he is impassioned, as well for the wines than for the human beings which are behind.

This passion leads him to join the project “Wines, Beers, Rebels!”
