Member Organizations
Membership of EBCU is open to all non-exclusive national organisations of beer consumers, provided they are independent of all outside influence, represent the beer consumer and can wholeheartedly endorse the following Aims and Objectives:
- To preserve and maintain the diversity of the traditional European beer cultures, with particular regard to local, regional and national brewing and beer styles
- To protect the consumer from the imposition of unfair pricing by opposing unreasonable taxation or exploitative business practices
- To ensure that the consumer receives the best factual information about any beer on commercial sale
Please check our Manifesto for more information about our Aims and Objectives.
EBCU will aim to act as an umbrella group for its constituent organizations, acting as a resource to make the work of national groups easier and more effective. It will not impose any restriction or obligation on its member groups beyond insisting on their adherence to the shared Aims and Objectives.
If your organisation is interested in joining us, please read our document “Guide for applying organisations” (updated 04/2024).
