Brewing regions
Your region, a brewing destination waiting to be discovered.
Territories where beer shapes the landscapes, the history and the way of life. With RECORB, turn this heritage into a driver of attractiveness for your whole region.
Join a European movement
Bring your stakeholders together around sustainable beer tourism and give your territory new visibility.
Connect the discoveries
Combine breweries, cultural and historical heritage, gastronomy and landscapes to make people want to come and stay longer.
Put your towns and municipalities in the spotlight
Build a regional approach that highlights the diversity of your local destinations.
Beer opens the door.
Visitors then discover a territory, its traditions and the women and men who bring it to life.
One identity, many territories
What is a brewing region?
Region, province, department, canton or cultural area: a brewing region is a territory whose identity is expressed through beer, its know-how and its living traditions.
Craft or industrial breweries, hop fields, abbeys, museums, traditional taverns, festivals or gastronomy: its assets can be many. A long-standing tradition as well as a fast-growing sector can fuel this momentum.

Regional commitment in the spotlight
The Fourquet Award for Europe's brewing regions
In every European country, the Fourquet Award honours regions that actively support the brewing world: mobilising municipalities, involving tourist offices, backing local players and promoting events.
Every scale has its own approach
The region unites.
Municipalities bring the territory to life.
Regional membership and applying for the Fourquet Award are separate from the municipal label with one, two or three hops.
The region can encourage and support its municipalities in their own applications.
