Overview of the Organic Brewing Industry and analysis of the market potential in the Greater Region

The Lorraine Regional Natural Parc and its partners launched the Brass Hop Bio project to establish an organic brewing industry across the Greater Region — Meuse, Meurthe-et-Moselle and Moselle (France); the province of Liège (Belgium); the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg; and Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland (Germany). The goal is to assess the current state of the existing industry, analyze the potential market for regional organic barley and hops among brewers, and the market for regional organic beers among consumers. The final step in this process is to collaboratively develop an action plan with and for the economic stakeholders (producers, cooperatives and collectors, malters and hop processors, and brewers).
