ABOUT US

ABOUT US

The whole BAROMETER team and I find enormous pleasure in getting a positive feedback from our guests, speakers, participants and journalists. Exactly for this purpose we have been working for the whole year. To offer you three days of cocktail culture celebration.
BAROMETER 2018 exceeded our greatest expectations. 18 thousand guests visited the bar show and enjoyed 44 thousand cocktails mixed by numerous bars. Over 100 speakers held lectures and tastings. It was the first time that 23 bars from 11 countries, including the best bar of Asia and other bars from the Top-50 list, were brought together in one place.
On the first day at the main Star Stage we had a truly unexpected situation: a marriage proposal and the cherished «Yes»! This love story was witnessed not only by the guests but also thousands of viewers who were watching us live (traditionally, we broadcast all presentations from the main stage Live).
BAROMETER 2018 was different from the previous two shows by its scale as well as the common topic that united all speakers’ lectures – Borders. In addition, BAROMETER brand ambassador and the Star Stage host was our friend Kenji Jesse – a luxury alcohol consultant with 17 years of experience, the owner of NomuConsult company.
Our team is grateful to everyone who visited our bar show and made their contribution. We are already beginning our preparation for BAROMETER 2019 and promise it will be amazing!
Cheers!

    13:00 - 14:00
    STAR Stage
    “Flora & Fragaria”
    Language: EN
    Simultaneous translation: RU

    Theses

    A breakdown of plants, agriculture and the anatomy of ingredients, giving bartenders the practical and scientific understanding within culinary arts, and the tools to get the most from each season.
    In this session, we will profile plants as the building blocks for flavours, colours and textures. While each plant will ultimately be different, using a proven method, and exciting sensory formulae, you’ll be able to fully plan, process and create new and innovative ways of using plants in your programs. This isn’t just about being sustainable, it’s about being informed and educated – this will cause you to look at your locale more diligently, and plan your menus truly to the flora around you. Our journey will take us through the case study of the common strawberry – a wildly known creature across most of the planet – but this method can be used for almost any plant.
    “I’m very excited to share my personal process – that’s what this session is all about – I pull on my background as a bartender for the last 18 years, sommelier for the last 11 years, culinary student for the last 20, and flavour science advocate since the early 2000’s. For those who love flavour, cooking, cocktails, wine, horticulture, spices and a bit of gentle science, this will change your process.” –  Lauren Mote.

    Biography

    She’s a mixologist; a sommelier; an architect of potions, tonics and elixirs; an accomplished emcee, writer, spirit and cocktail judge; an international spirits diplomat and accredited instructor; award-winning bartender Lauren Mote wears many hats, but she’s perhaps best known as the DIAGEO Reserve & World Class Global Cocktailian, and the co-founder of Bittered Sling Bitters – an internationally successful portfolio of award-winning cocktail bitters and culinary extracts.

    Modern Chinese Bar — what does it mean? 

    Before the inauguration, owners of the bar realized that a successful and long-lasting project requires something more than tableware, equipment and even more than good cocktails. You might ask: what is more important for a cocktail bar than cocktails? An Idea! The idea that can breathe life into projects and make them develop independently. Modern Chinese Bar is not about soju or local products on the bar. Modern Chinese Bar is about the blending of futurism and authentic Eastern philosophy, it’s about multiculturalism, openness to the world with thousands of years in the background. The concept of ВАО is not about China’s borders, it’s about opportunities, about the courage to face the future, finding inspiration in the past and admiring the present!
