Czech Republic: Opportunities Exist for U.S. Craft Beer and Hops in Czech Republic

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

The Czech Republic is a country with a strong and deep beer culture. Beer is considered a true national beverage and part of the cultural heritage. The Czech people have the highest per capita beer consumption in the world, reaching 138 liters per person in 2017. Unsurprisingly, growing and processing Czech hops also has a very long tradition. Although both Czech beer and hops are major export commodities and enjoy worldwide recognition, niche market opportunities exist for U.S. beer and hops. This is mainly due to the recent boom of microbreweries and growing popularity of more heavily hopped beer, such as IPAs.
