Czech Beer and Malt Association

The Czech Beer and Malt Association (Český svaz pivovarů a sladoven) brings together breweries, malt houses and other institutions that directly or indirectly take part in beer production in the Czech Republic. Its contributing members also include hop growers, producers of beer glass, labels, technological and technical equipment, educational institutions and others. The association follows a long tradition reaching back to the second half of the 19th century, when the first professional brewing and malting organizations were founded in the territory; its current form dates from 1991, when the professional organization of brewers and maltsters was renewed. Its main aim is to promote and defend the rights and common interests of its members, and it also represents its members' interests internationally as a member of the European brewing association The Brewers of Europe.
