In the beginning of June we with Vlad Shamov started by car from Moscow and went to the west. The aim of our trip was International Breweriana Exchange meeting in Luxembourg. We passed a few countries Belarus, Poland and Germany. On the back way we visited Belgium. Along the way we were meeting with collectors: in Minsk with Vladimir Ivanov, in Warsaw with Gregorz Patek. In Brussels we visited Yves De Kock who wasn't able to to Luxemburg because of surgery operation he undergo. We met a lot of old friend on the meeting in Luxembourg. And, of cause, we was drinking a lot of beer.
