Nord Europa Announces Continental Craft‑Beer Exchange with Costa Mar

The Nord Europa Assembly approved a bilateral cultural‑exchange programme with Costa Mar, under which each region will invite the other’s craft‑brewery collectives to showcase seasonal recipes during their winter festivals. Governor Eva Novák welcomed the initiative, noting that “our breweries gain fresh inspiration from the tropical malt profiles of Costa Mar, while their brewers enjoy the crisp, high‑altitude hops of our plateau.” The first exchange event is scheduled for the Frost Brew Celebration in January, with a reciprocal tasting slated for Costa Mar’s Sunlit Port Festival in February. The program will also fund joint research grants to develop climate‑resilient yeast strains.
