Quest for Quality
How the UK on-trade can deliver a quality experience for our beer customers every single time
The Quest for Quality event was run in partnership with Budvar UK.
Exclusive research identified that a sub-standard experience for many beer drinkers is currently costing the on-trade significantly. In a time when ‘experience is everything’ but also ‘every penny counts’ the research exposes a pressing need for our industry to address this issue fast.
Hosted by KAM, in partnership with Budvar UK, the event brought together some of the most influential people in the on-trade to discuss the new research and join a debate on how the UK on-trade can deliver a quality experience for our beer customers every single time.
