Beer production, per capita consumption rise year-on-year

Czech breweries made 20.55 million hectolitres of beer in 2022, a rise of 950,000 hectolitres on the previous year. Per head consumption of beer also increased, from 129 litres in 2021 to 136 litres last year, according to data from the national brewers association.

Although production increased after two years of decline, 2022 output was still around 1 million hectolitres below the amount seen in 2019, the year before the coronavirus pandemic reached Czechia.
