Government move on low-alcohol beer and cider welcome - ABFI

The decision of the Minister for Finance to reduce the excise on low-strength beer and cider is a vital step in growing the categories, according to Rosemary Garth, Director of the Alcohol Beverage Federation of Ireland (ABFI).

“The move was a progressive one that helps put in place the framework for a shift in consumer behaviour toward low-alcohol beer and cider,“ she said.
