Ahead of the 2024 AGM, I am proposing an amendment to article 2 of Beoir’s Constitution. We have always followed the legal definition of a small independent brewer, but until 2023 there was no equivalent legal definition of a small cider producer. This was then introduced, with the production limit capped at 10,000hL. I am proposing that Beoir adopt this definition, and also update its definition of a small brewery to match the current legislation, where the cap is 75,000hL of beer per year.
Therefore, article 2, which currently reads:
Beoir is focused on supporting and raising awareness of our native independent microbreweries and craft cider-makers, defined as those companies on the island of Ireland which brew or make less than 50,000 hectolitres of beer and/or cider per year. Beoir also recognises the role of quality imported beer and cider in improving the choice available to Irish consumers and seeks to promote the widest distribution and retailing of such products.will be amended to:

It will remain open until 16th November 2024.
