Photograph: Eric Luke/The Irish TimesIreland was the fifth biggest exporter of beer in the European Union last year as production of lager, stout and ale across the bloc returned to near pre-Covid levels, new figures from Eurostat reveal.
Excluding non-alcoholic products, the Republic exported some 400 million litres of beer in 2022, accounting for 5 per cent of total EU exports. The latest data from the EU’s statistics agency shows that some 34.3 billion litres of alcoholic beer and 1.6 billion litres of beer containing less than 0.5 per cent alcohol or had no alcohol content were brewed within the bloc in 2022, an increase of 7 per cent on the previous year. While still short of pre-pandemic levels, it meant that production returned close to 2019′s total of 34.7 billion litres.
Germany remained the biggest single producer of beer, accounting for 7.6 billion litres, more than 22 per cent of the total EU production. It was followed by Spain, with 3.9 billion litres produced ; Poland with 3.7 billion litres ; the Netherlands with 2.6 billion litres ; and France and Italy, both with 2 billion litres .
