RECORBEuropean Network

European Network of Brewing Communes and Regions

Your local authority benefits from beer tourism.

RECORB brings together European municipalities, towns, regions and other local authorities around the theme of beer tourism. In collaboration with tourist boards, the hospitality sector and other cultural and socio-economic partners, the network promotes brewing expertise and traditions through sustainable tourism experiences.

Our ambition

To make sustainable beer tourism a driver of regional development.

Beer opens the door. Visitors then discover the history, heritage, cuisine, landscapes, traditions and the people who bring the region to life.

Brewing commune

'Becoming a brewing commune' immediately gives the territory an identity.

As soon as a local authority joins RECORB, it becomes a 'Brewing commune' and joins this European network for sustainable beer tourism. The labelling process can also begin.

Promotion

Ten ways to promote your region.

RECORB transforms your brewing, tourism, heritage and gastronomic assets into tangible, visible experiences using beBeer’s digital tools.
