For anyone exhibiting at BrauBeviale, accommodation is part of trade-fair planning. The official exhibition may last three days, but an exhibitor's working schedule can extend beyond those dates because of preparation, meetings and dismantling.
BrauBeviale 2026 takes place from 10-12 November at the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg. The trade fair covers the beverage industry's production and processing chain, from raw materials and technology through to bottling, packaging and marketing.
What Is BrauBeviale?
BrauBeviale is an international trade fair for the beverage industry. Its scope includes beer, mineral water, soft drinks, juices, wine, sparkling wine and spirits, as well as suppliers and technologies supporting beverage production.
The event is organised around the wider beverage production chain rather than a single product category. That makes it relevant to manufacturers, bottlers, technology suppliers, packaging companies and other industry professionals.
The event has been held in Nuremberg for decades, and its 2026 programme focuses on current industry challenges including changing consumer behaviour, energy costs, automation, product development and non-alcoholic beverages.

For 2026, the organiser is using the theme "All Beverages. One Future." and has expanded the programme around the full beverage value chain.
Why Exhibitors Need More Than a Hotel Room
A trade-fair accommodation decision is different from choosing somewhere for a city break.
A stand crew may need to arrive before the first official exhibition morning, stay late for customer meetings or events, and remain in Nuremberg after the final visitor has left. That makes practical facilities particularly valuable.
A furnished apartment can give a longer-stay guest access to a kitchenette and residential-style space, while BOOK-IT's guest houses also provide laundry facilities. BOOK-IT advertises furnished apartments for short stays, extended stays and business travel in Erlangen.
For a crew spending several days on site, being able to prepare breakfast or a simple evening meal and handle laundry without relying entirely on hotel services can make the routine easier.
Getting to NurnbergMesse from Erlangen
NurnbergMesse is directly served by the U1 underground line at the Messe station.
From Nurnberg Hauptbahnhof, VGN states that the U1 journey to the Messe takes approximately nine minutes, with the Messe station located directly at the exhibition centre.
If you are staying in Erlangen, the complete journey depends on your BOOK-IT property and the regional connection you choose. Check the route for your exact address and arrival time, particularly if you are travelling early in the morning for stand preparation.
Plan Accommodation as Part of Your Exhibitor Schedule
BrauBeviale's own exhibitor roadmap recommends organising travel and hotels during the months leading up to the event. Its exhibitor planning schedule runs through November 2026.
For teams, it can be useful to decide accommodation dates alongside the stand schedule rather than treating accommodation as a separate task.
Consider:
- Stand construction and preparation dates
- Exhibition opening hours
- Evening customer meetings
- Team size and room requirements
- Laundry and cooking needs
- Departure after dismantling
