Luxembourg: Brasserie Nationale sees increase in both production and sales of beer in 2018
The Brasserie Nationale, Luxembourg’s largest beer maker, saw an increase in both its production and sales of beer in 2018, RTL Today reported on February 14.
In total, the brewery brewed around 15,500,000 litres of peer (155,000 hectolitres), which marks an increase of over 700,000 litres. To look at it another way, the brewery produced an additional 3 million half-pints of beer compared to 2017.
This also was reflected in the brewery's turnover, which, having increased by 4%, lay at €10.7 million.
It is likely, the brewery benefited from the long period of hot and dry weather over the summer, as its profits before tax rose by 2.5% to €4 million.
Given Luxembourgish residents' beer habits, it is hardly a surprise that the Brasserie Nationale performed well.
