5 Beer Drinking Countries in the World

4. Russia

Total Consumption: 8,937 thousand kiloliters

Out of the top 15 beer drinking countries in the world, Russia’s beer consumption increased by 7.6% compared to the pre-COVID levels i.e. 2019. In 2021, beer consumption was 8,937 thousand kiloliters, up from 8,646 thousand kiloliters in 2020.

One of the effects of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on the Russian beer market was that a few international alcohol brands stopped operations in the country which gave way to local breweries like Dreamteam Brew. Russian beer is most popular among the locals as around 99% of the consumption is domestic.
