Austria | Where on earth is Murau? And how come it holds a festival on Global Beer? Murau, a small town of about 3,500 inhabitants, lies 160 km southeast of Salzburg. First mentioned in the late 13th century, Murau’s fame, historically, rested on logging and brewing.

United Kingdom | That is clever. Deviating from its preferred route to finance through crowdfunding, the Scottish brewer and pub operator may issue a GBP 10 million (USD 12 million) bond that would repay lenders partly in beer.
