European Beer Consumers' Union
- European Beer Consumers' Union
The European Beer Consumers' Union "(EBCU)" is an independent non-religious, non-politically affiliated international consumer organisation that was founded during May 1990 in Bruges by three European national beer consumer organisations, "CAMRA" (UK), "Objectieve Bierproevers" (Belgium) and "PINT" (Netherlands).
(In 2002/3 "Objectieve Bierproevers" was replaced by "Zythos")
