European Beer Consumers' Union
The European Beer Consumers' Union is a consumer organisation founded in 1990 in Bruges, Belgium, by three national beer organisations: CAMRA, Objectieve Bierproevers and PINT.
History
In 2003, Objectieve Bierproevers was replaced by Zythos.In 2008, the member organisations signed up to a constitution which defined the formal aims and structure and the role of traditional beer as a "prime component of European culture, history and daily life".
Beoir, an Irish consumer organisation setup in 2010 to promote Irish craft brewing and microbreweries, became the organisation's 13th member in 2012.
In 2012, Terry Lock, chairman since 1999, retired and Henri Reuchlin from the Netherlands was elected to replace him. Bo Jensen from Denmark replaced Henri Reuchlin as chairman in 2018, serving until 2022. In 2022, André Brunnsberg of Finnish organisation Olutliitto was elected Chair.
