According to information from the State Revenue Service, 34% less beer was produced in Latvia in 2014, reports LETA.
A total of 9,681 million decaliters of beer was produced in Latvia last year, which was 34% less than in 2013.
According to the State Revenue Service, this substantial drop in beer production was mostly due to Latvia's largest beer producer Aldaris moving a large portion of its beer production abroad.
The State Revenue Service also informs that there were 26 micro-breweries registered in Latvia last year, which produced 23% of the total amount of beer produced in the country, which is 16% more than in 2013.
