Homebrewing interest and Craft brewing beer are becoming more popular in Asia. China is already the largest consumer of beer in the world so what does that say for craft beer?
A New Era Opens Up in Asia
Craft Brewing gains popularity. Will this be the next beer revolution?
There are a number of changes happening in various Asian countries like Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, China and South Korea that indicate a new revolution is about to happen in the craft beer movement.
The population of Asia is estimated to be 4,426,683,000 in 2014.- http://www.worldpopulationstatistics.com
China has the world’s largest population, estimated at 1.35 billion people according to the same source.
China already produces the largest volume of beer of any country, although the per capita consumption of beer is quite low.
So even if there is a modest percentage growth in beer consumption it equates to very large volumes of craft beer.
