Based in Brussels, The Brewers of Europe brings together national brewers’ associations and companies from 28 European countries to support the united interests of Europe’s 10,000+ breweries.
BEER
The cradle of modern brewing, Europe is home to an estimated 80 beer styles and 50,000 different beer brands.
BREWERS
Europe’s 10,000+ breweries, dispersed across the continent, create over 2 million jobs along the chain from grain to glass.
LIFESTYLE
Bringing people together, beer, consumed moderately by healthy adults, may be fully compatible with a balanced and active lifestyle.
Our priorities
BEER – EUROPE’S CHOICE
Ahead of the EU Elections in June 2024, The Brewers of Europe published a manifesto offering seven recommendations for a policy approach that can benefit citizens, the environment, national economies and the beer sector over the next five years.
SUSTAINABILITY
The Brewers of Europe aim to have a positive impact on society, people and the planet. We continue to encourage sustainable practices in our brewing processes, in our supply chains, and in how beer is consumed and enjoyed.
Labelling
Brewers believe in empowering people with facts to make informed decisions. They have been voluntarily rolling out ingredient listings and calorie information on-label and online since 2015.
Economy and jobs
Generating over 2 million jobs in Europe and over 40 billion euros in government tax revenues, the brewing sector is a major contributor to the European economy.
MODERATION & WELL-BEING
Brewers in Europe take their responsibility seriously through initiating and supporting strategies that encourage responsible consumption of beer and address alcohol misuse, including through the promotion of no-and-low alcoholic beer.
