Beer market in Romania - statistics & facts
The first Romanian brewery, Timișoreana, was established in 1718, marking the beginning of the beer market in Romania. Despite the market's long history, with the first written mentions of beers and brewers dating back to the Middle Ages, it has shown remarkable adaptability. Beer's popularity surged in the following centuries, leading to many breweries and better brewing systems. However, after the fall of communism in 1989, the Romanian beer market faced a challenging privatization process, resulting in the closure of many breweries.
