And because Madrid?
The reason was the Centenary of Brewers of Spain. We are talking about an entity that brings together brewers from all over the country. Its fundamental work over the years has been the great impact of the sector on the Spanish economy. The reason is that their work has consolidated the presence and prestige of the Spanish beer sector. Both nationally and internationally.
Being able to host these essential events for the international beer sector is not only a source of pride for us. It also allows us to reinforce the prestige of our country as one of the main Europe producers. As well as our beers both nationally and internationally.
And, without a doubt, we are convinced that the fact that they are held in Madrid will also contribute to the projection of Spain as the third largest producer of beer in the European Union”, he concludes. Jacobo Olalla Maranon, Director-General of Brewers of Spain.
