"The study has tracked developments across Europe since
2008. There are early indications that the brewing sector
has weathered the initial impact of the global economic
storm, with a slight recovery in 2010. The study underlines
the fact that the European brewing sector has resilience,
remains a global leader and has a very positive impact on
the European economy"
