Slovaks love beer, which is confirmed by gradually increasing number of beer producing facilities. Production of beer has significant impact on development of Slovak economy, direct foreign investments, creation of new jobs, technology modernization etc. There are also many significant multinational corporations operating in Slovakia such as Heineken International, Topvar, Steiner and others. Significant revolution is going on also in the sector of small independent craft breweries in Slovakia. The objective of this paper is to emphasize the importance and impact of beer industry on Slovakian economy and to analyze advantages and disadvantages of the sector in this area. Keywords: Beer, beer industry, investments, market. JEL: L66, M21, Q00 Introduction Beer is almost as old as our civilization. The favorite drink over the whole world and according to some researches it has also medicinal properties due to medicinal substances which beer contains. It is a fermented beverage which is made from grains of cereals with the addition of hop. In the previous century and at the beginning of 1 Mgr.

ISSN 478-6567 Slovak Studies Program, University of Pittsburgh votruba “at” pitt “dot” edu http://www.pitt.edu/~votruba Historical and National Background of Slovak Filmmaking Martin Votruba While the United States is usually seen as a new country and the European countries as ancient ones, the emergence and demise of countries and border shifts have been much more widespread, dramatic, and consequential in Central Europe, as well as in the rest of the continent, in the past century than anything in American experience during the same period. In extreme instances, by the time a person was eighty, he or she could have been a citizen of up to eight countries without ever leaving his or her hometown. Slovakia in Europe, Real and Symbolic Geography A major concept and understanding that has been absent in almost all writing about Central Europe in English is the term “Central Europe” itself. It is sometimes taken to be an old German invention designed to justify the expansionist concept of Lebensraum, or it is discussed as an invention of Czech émigré author Milan Kundera, especially in his essay “The Tragedy of Central Europe.”1 Yet, a character in the German film The Edukators (Die Fetten Jahre sind vorbei; dir. Heinz Weingartner, 2004) says at one point, quite matter-of-factly, “here in Central Europe.” It is revealing that the English subtitles translated it merely as “here in Europe” for American audiences. Stripped of any Kundera-esque connotations, Central Europe has long been a simple geographic concept, like the Midwest in the United States.

I was enjoying Friday night trips to Whitefriars Ale House in Coventry with their ever changing selection of guest ales. However I could never really remember which beers or breweries I’d enjoyed most a few months later. The nearby Inspire Café Bar provided a different challenge with its range of European beers that were often only differentiated by their number – was it the 6, 8 or 10 that I liked? So I started to make notes on the beers to improve my powers of selection. Now, over three years on, that simple list has grown into the book you hold. As well as straightforward likes and dislikes, the book contains what I have learnt about the many styles of beer and the history of brewing in countries across the world. It reflects the diverse beers that are being produced today and the differing attitudes to it.

  • Development of Beer Industry and Craft Beer Expansion
    Journal of Food and Nutrition Research (ISSN 1336-8672) Vol. 58, 2019, No. 1, pp. 63–74 Development of beer industry and craft beer expansion Ján Pokrivčák – Soňa Chovanová SuPeková – DrahoSlav lančarič – raDovan Savov – Marián TóTh – raDoSlav vašina Summary The objective of this paper is to evaluate how globalization of Slovak economy and its economic growth affected not only the structure of the traditional beer market in Slovakia but also the rise and expansion of craft breweries. The theory is focused on examining an interplay between the standardized and globalized traditional beer industry, develop- ment and dissemination of craft brewing technologies and changing of life styles. Results and main outcomes are based on a survey where 20 owners of craft breweries in Slovakia were interviewed using a focus group approach. We identi- fied main factors affecting expansion of craft breweries as well as barriers to craft breweries expansion. The expansion is positively affected by increasing demand for diversified beer, different beer styles and the increase of income. The main barriers are the increasing consumption of substitutes, lack of qualified brewers and taxation policy. Main motivation factors to start a craft brewery are lack of diversified beer and good business opportunity.

  • The Craft Beer Revolution: an International Perspective
    3rd Quarter 2017 • 32(3) The Craft Beer Revolution: An International Perspective Christian Garavaglia and Johan Swinnen JEL Classifications: L10, L26, L66 Keywords: Beer, Entry, Industry Structure, Small Firms Craft brewers and their customers have transformed global beer markets over the past two decades, ending a century of consolidation that resulted in the domination of a few global multinationals and the homogenization of beer. They started small and isolated but ultimately transformed a global industry. The terms “craft brewery,” “artisanal brewery,” “microbrewery,” “independent brewery,” “specialty brewery,” and “local brewery” are sometimes used to identify breweries that “recently” started brewing “different” types of beer on a “small” scale, distinguishing them from larger breweries mass-producing beer that often have been in business for more than a century and have survived the consolidation process of the 20th century. Given the diversities among countries and their historically different traditions in beer brewing, no single definition is generally accepted. The American Brewers Association (ABA) defines a craft brewery as “small,” “independent,” and “traditional.” Small refers to the size (annual production less than 6 million barrels). Independent refers to ownership (less than 25% owned or controlled by an alcohol industry member that is not itself a craft brewer). Traditional refers to the beer production, in which 50% or more if the beer brewed derives its flavor from “traditional” or “innovative” brewing ingredients and their fermentation. But in fact, any definition has its problems. For example, “tradition” and “innovation” are context-specific concepts. Many of the mass-produced beers, such as Budweiser or Stella Artois have a centuries-old history (tradition) much older than many craft beers.

Chceme vám dokázať, že aj v súvislosti s pivom sa dá rozvíjať seriózna ekonomická veda. Bežne sa pod pojmom „pivná ekonómia“ (podobne ako „pivná filozofia“) chápe vedecky nepodložené táranie o nejakom probléme. My však neponúkame pivnú ekonómiu, ale ekonómiu piva. Ekonomické zákonitosti aplikované na spotrebu piva, analytické pohľady na otázky, ktoré sa v súvislosti s pivom bežne vynárajú. A tak sme vytvorili slovnú hračku beerconomics = ekonómia piva.

  • Possibilities for Developing Beer Routes in Slovakia
    Prace Komisji Geografii Przemysłu Polskiego Towarzystwa Geograficznego Studies of the Industrial Geography Commission of the Polish Geographical Society 34 (3) · 2020 ISSN 2080–1653 DOI 10.24917/20801653.343.3 AlfredConstantine Krogmann The Philosopher University in Nitra, Slovakia FranciszekPedagogical Mróz, University of Krakow, Poland ZuzanaUniversity Dvořáková of South Bohemia Líšková in České Budějovice, Czech Republic AlenaConstantine Dubcová The Philosopher University in Nitra, Slovakia MagdalénaConstantine Nemčíková The Philosopher University in Nitra, Slovakia DašaConstantine Oremusová The Philosopher University in Nitra, Slovakia Possibilities for Developing Beer Routes in Slovakia Abstract: The last 30 years of brewing history in Slovakia were the most turbulent ones. They were influ- enced by the liquidation of some beer production as well as privatization, integration and acquisitions of global beer producers. As a reaction to the uniform taste of beer produced by the global producers, numerous small craft breweries emerged in Slovakia trying to return the specific beer taste to the regions. Their impor- tance may also be involved in the development of popular beer tourism through beer routes in addition to the fragmentation of the Slovak brewing industry. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the potential of Slovakia for the development of beer routes. The examination and assessment of the possibilities of creating beer routes in Slovakia required considering the historical context first, and then establishing a database comprising the list of craft breweries in Slovakia and the list of places where beer festivals are organised. Correspondence with the President of the Association of Small Independent Slovak Breweries was used for this purpose. Such a database was then verified, supplemented and compared to the database developed by our team based on information from field research, telephone interviews with thirty representatives of breweries, and an analy- sis of websites of Slovak breweries.
