Beer production declines two percent in 2017

The decline was only two percent, but beer production still dropped to 93 million hl in 2017, the German Brewers Association reported. This was partly due to a drop in beer exports. Full year 2017 figures for beer exports are not available yet. In 2016 beer exports stood at 16.7 million hl.

Krombacher Brewery managed to defend its position as the leading German beer brand in terms of domestic consumption.
