A protocooperation (alliance) between beer and wine was achieved for the first time with Lagrein-Bier.

Birra FORST brewed the Lagrein-Bier exclusively for the Merano WineFestival. The media presentation of this special beer took place on 9 and 10 November. Exclusively for accredited journalists, a tasting under the expert guidance of Birra FORST Ambassador Antonio Cesaro and FORST brew master Christian Pircher took place in the press reception located in the Sixtus Hall of the Forsterbräu Merano.
