Kelvin Thairu will be among 55 mixologists who will battle for the coveted title of World Class Bartender of the Year next month in Madrid.
The five-day event, to be held between July 4 and 8, will present opportunities for people to both watch the competition and engage with some amazing virtual and interactive experiences.
From events to trend-led panels, master classes to AR-bars, the festival has been re-designed to adapt to the realities of today’s climate.
Apart from representing Kenya at the Global Finals in Madrid, Kevin will also tour the Ketel One Distillery in Holland.
