Portugal: Beer consumption drops to 46 litres per capita in 2015

Portugal’s per capita beer consumption has been falling steadily for the last several years and last year fell to 46 litres - the lowest level in the last twelve years, Portuguese Brewers Association reported.

As compared to 2006, when per capita beer consumption was 63 litres, last year saw a decline of 27%.

According to the Association, the decline is to be blamed on increased VAT and a rise in special consumption tax (IEC).
