After a most generous invite for four to the Sabres game last week, I was able to sneak a few pictures of fans enjoying the now-finished Blue Zone (HSBC Arena; Buffalo, New York USA).  The tickets were  passed out to the NDT office headquarters employees on a battle to the death basis, and by that of course I mean that only four of us could actually go.  Here’s what we saw:

My how you’ve grown! Check out the Blue Zone just a few short months ago…

Why read what I have to say about EXACTAP when we have an extremely thorough customer endorsements page for your viewing pleasure?! Or, you could click here and read this fantastic article in Stadia Magazine’s 10th Anniversary Edition.  Just a suggestion…

This years’ drinks technology show ran from September 14th-19th in Munich.  It’s a fairly long show, leading some attendees and visitors to question the success rate of the extra days.

EXACTAP, however, was recognized by many and warranted multiple visits from some of our industry favorites.  We don’t want to brag, but we even pulled some onlookers from the nearby Trufill demo while spotted on a leisurely stroll as ‘those guys from NDT’.

drinktec brought 66,000+ visitors and ended on the first day of Munich’s fame worthy Oktoberfest.  Coincidence? We think not.

Obviously, the festival requires reservations well in advance and a beer-loving individual. We found two such dedicated gentleman on our stand:

After losing to Neil Fischer of DDg in a Hofbrauhaus challenge, next year’s Brau plans for Martin are coming together quite nicely.  Not only will mp be sporting an “I love Cliff”  t-shirt but he’ll be wearing it under his lederhosen…for the whole show.

So was the show a success? You tell us…

The start of hockey Season in Buffalo can only mean one thing! Okay… maybe two. First, that it’s probably already snowing. Second, and more importantly for us, lots of beer drinkers in one convenient location!

After the first successful install at HSBC Arena in downtown Buffalo, Delaware North Companies decided they liked EXACTAP so much that they bought an EXACTPOUR!

Whether you’re at the Blue Zone  for an ice-cold beverage or enjoying dinner & drinks in the Harbor Club, you know you’re getting a quality draft.

Quite the jetsetter, ep!  While spotted sightseeing in Lederhosen in Munich, ep was also seen hitting the slot machines and risking it all on the blackjack table with Carlo & the Clarke brothers in Vegas (as seen below).

NBWA ‘09 (read: National Beer Wholesalers Association) spanned two half-days with 3 ballrooms of exhibitors.  But as the show progressed, both brewers and beer distributors found the multiple-room venue a little too inconvenient.

You know what ISN’T inconvenient? A 3 second draft!  The NDT reps poured like pros for all the passersby, with our very own EXACTAP pint glasses, might I add.

By the way… two places at once, ep-how DO you do it?!
