According to brewers, growth on the local beer market is due to a long summer with high temperatures and to major sports events, such as Euro 2012 and the Olympic Games.
Beer exports touched a record level of 230,000 hectoliters, accounting for 1.23% of the local beer output, while imports reached 430,000 hectoliters, covering 2% of the local market.
Founded in 2004, the Romanian Brewers Association covers over 90% of the local beer market.
