People love to drink beer. Some take this passion even a little bit further. They are willing to defend and promote their local beer culture, with no other motive than their passion for beer. They are neither brewers nor publicans – although many support the cause. They are consumers with no financial gain involved. On a European level, these consumers are organised in the European Beer Consumers Union (EBCU). EBCU is a federation of thirteen independent national beer consumer organisations across Europe.

It’s that time of year again: In April, the Craft Brewers’ Conference and BrewExpo America opens its doors.

Casting a glance through the MEBAK Collection of Brewing Analysis Methods, it is almost impossible not to stumble across the abbreviation AACC, which stands for the American Association of Cereal Chemistry, the world’s largest research organization on topics concerning cereals. The organization was founded in 1915 by US millers with the goal of developing standardized and thus comparable analysis methods. One hundred years on, what was once a partnership of convenience has now become an international organization boasting close to 2500 members. European brewers also make substantial scientific contributions, especially the laboratory at the Carlsberg Research Center. In order to acknowledge the international nature of the contributors, an “I” was added to the abbreviation for the organization (AACC-International).

On September 18, 2013 MBAA-members attending drinktec in Munich met at the Krones-booth for a photo session. MBAA-President Horace Cunningham personally welcomed the group. He was very satisfied with the growing number of members, especially the still young MBAA-District Europe with its MBAA-District Europe chairman, Prof. Jens Voigt, University Trier. This group is comparatively small, but is growing fast and already shows 74 members since the exhibition.
