In the 2021-2022 brewing year (October to October), beer sales by Swiss breweries rose again after two years of decline, the Swiss Brewery Association (SBA) said on Tuesday.

Overall, Swiss producers sold 364 million litres, up 9% on the previous year, despite the fact that the first months of the year were marked by strict pandemic regulations. When imported beers are included, the total sales rose by 6%, to 469 million litres.

The breweries said the reason for the recovery was largely the end of the pandemic-related restrictions, but also the sunny and dry weather in the spring and summer months of 2022.
