The festival's founder Richard Servranckx heaped praise on Scotland's burgeoning industry, saying: "I moved to Scotland from France and I see the same rich culinary heritage here in Scotland that I did in France. I feel that Scotland deserves to be known as a culinary destination, and the Craft Beer Experience is my part in trying to achieve that."
