About Bulgarian Beer

Beer in Bulgaria (бира, пиво) is a relatively new product to a country with centuries old tradition of rakia drinking. It was introduced by foreigners around the 19th century. It didn't take long for Bulgarians to catch up though - today Bulgaria ranks 25th in the world by beer consumption per person (60 liters a year).

Currently there are thirteen breweries in the country, some of them owned by large beer corporations like InBev, Heineken, etc and some of them small local companies.
