| Good to keep the smaller breweries around if possible even if a small surcharge for a speciality local beer. Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV is a Belgian company buying up many smaller local craft breweries in the US along with Anneheuser Bush. As a result this has change the quantity importing of German beers from Bavaria that are no longer available as Anheuser-Busch InBev is the new distributor as decides which beers to export from Bavaria. I’ve been told there were once over 1,000 breweries in Czech in the early 20thcentury, but the brewing industry was nationalized after the fall of the Iron Curtain. The end result was the rise of larger breweries and mass-produced beer, while most of the smaller ones went out of business due to a lack of funds to keep them running. Luckily, the number of smaller microbreweries has been rising steadily over the last decade or two, although there are still fewer today than a century ago. In 2013, the average Czech person drank 147 liters, nearly 40 liters more than any other nationality. (The average consumption per liter for German drinks 104 liters per year, American drinks 76 liters per year, and the average UK resident consumes 67 liters). That works out to more than a 12-oz. (355 ml) beer each day for every Czech man, woman and child. |
