Reads like a potential epic football match, however it's all about fun and rum. Unfortunately (or on purpose), the biggest if not mythical rum festivals in Europe coming to us this fall have planned it in the same weekend, being October 14-15. So, dilemma here is: which one to choose. Have a slight preference for Berlin, as it provides more quality time to talk to the producers, distillers themselves. However, these brands will have to choose too, and here I get mixed signals from a few i spoke at the Amsterdam Festival. Curious to know your experiences and if you had to choose...

I'm going to the UK one. It's indeed a shame they are at the same time as the small distilleries and indie bottlers don't have the staff to visit both at the same time so have to pick 1 to go to.

What a bummer - I wish the big festivals would coordinate their dates ahead of time, and maybe even collaborate somehow...? I could easily see someone receiving a discount if they bought tickets to both (if they were on different days).
