Beer consumption down-slides 11 percent in the first semester
Beer consumption in Romania has gone downwards by 11 percent in the first semester of this year compared to the similar period of last year. The entire beer sector had a consumption of 7.4 million hectoliters, according to the Romanian Brewers’ Association, quoted by Mediafax Business. During the first semester of last year, the volume of sales was 8.3 million hectoliters.
This decrease in consumption is due to the recession which triggered some changes in Romanians’ habits, who decided to go out less.
