Alcohol-free beer in demand
Major events will once again ensure a good amount of beer. “After the German beer market had shown itself relatively stable in the last three years, the balance stated a slight decline in sales for 2017,” report “the German brewers” of the DBB. Last year, German breweries sold 94 million hectolitres beer, falling short of the prior-year result of 96 million hectolitres.
Nonetheless, the DBB main- tains an optimistic outlook: “The
number of breweries and the variety of beers will continue to grow in the coming years, also thanks to the craft movement,” as DBB president Dr. Jörg Lehmann draws balance. Further impulses come from positive growth in demand for alcohol-free beers. “Alcohol-free beers reach a share of 6 percent in Germany – trending towards further growth. Especially alcohol-free mixed beer varieties, such as alcohol-free shandy, were able to grow considerably in the last year”.
Nothing hints towards a dry spell. Despite all fluctuations, valves manufacturers can continue to
place their bets on a stable beer market, and thus on advanced components.
The whole range of valves will be presented at the world`s leading trade fair VALVE WORLD EXPO, that will be held at Düsseldorf
