Lotte Peplow, Brewers Association’s American Craft Beer Ambassador for Europe, comments: “Beer & Food Attraction is an important opportunity to meet with Italian and European importers, distributors and trade partners to showcase the cutting edge of American craft brewing.    Europe is a significant market for American craft beer exports representing 14.5% of all exports (excluding Sweden and the UK).  We will be joined by 10 brewery representatives who are making the journey over from the States to investigate the market and seek new distribution agreements.  With 16 breweries and approximately 50 different American craft beers we have a style for every occasion and we look forward to welcoming HORECA visitors to our booth.”
