A few words on The Hellenic Association of Brewers
The Hellenic Association of Brewers was launched in 2004 as an association of big breweries in Greece. In 2016 there was an initiative which led to its expansion, as the participation of small and big breweries was foreseen. Today, members of the association are two big breweries and 16 microbreweries, whereas their representation in the Management committee is equal.
The mission of the association is to support the breweries operating in Greece so they can produce and distribute beer freely, responsibly, and legally with respect for the consumer, society, and the environment.
The Hellenic Association of Brewers is a member of The Brewers of Europe.
