Ghinea said the association hopes the beer market picks up this year, after a period of decline.
The association includes Bergenbier, Heineken, Ursus, United Romanian Breweries Bereprod and Martens and a small brewery, Clinica de bere, which cover over 80% of Romania’s beer consumption. The association also includes representatives of raw materials suppliers: Soufflet Malt Romania and the association of hops producers.
Total investments of beer producers in Romania amount to over EUR1.25 billion.
