EU: Slovenia becomes member of Brewers of Europe – Newsletter No. 23a (2013-06-07)

The Brewers of Europe has approved the candidature of Slovenia as its 29th member, the association reported on June, 3.

Beer is brewed in every EU country and Slovenia is no exception, with a rich beer brewing heritage that today creates around 10 thousand jobs. With Slovenians consuming around 80 litres per capita, Slovenian breweries brew over 150 million litres of beer each year, approximately a quarter of which is exported.

The Association of Slovene Brewers was welcomed into the European umbrella association for brewers at a meeting of The Brewers of Europe´s General Assembly in Luxembourg.
