Luxembourg: Brasserie Nationale content with last year’s numbers

Beer-drinking is becoming less popular worldwide, according to recent stats; but Luxembourg's Brasserie Nationale was nonetheless content with last year's numbers, RTL Today reported on March 2.

In 2022, the brewery produced 210,400 hectolitres of beer and water, bringing beer back to pre-Covid lockdown levels in 2019.

Mathias Lentz, director of Brasserie Nationale, said Luxembourg was a beer-drinking country, and beer consumption had remained relatively stable over the past few years.

Despite this, the decline in sales of local beer brands was down to the fact that the Duchy had imported many international beers over the past year or so. Since 2019, the company has made at least 20% of its profit from selling water.
