In 2015 The Brewers of Europe committed to voluntarily listing ingredients and calories on labels. 

In 2019, we strengthened that commitment through an MoU and a Brewers’ Ambition that all beer bottles and cans label ingredients and energy values by end 2022.

In 2021 The Brewers of Europe signed up to the EU Code of Conduct with a Pledge to continue roll-out.

On 16 April 2026, The Brewers of Europe reported to the European Commission and EU Member States that today 95% of beer is labelling ingredients, whilst 91% is labelling energy values in line with the rules laid down in Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 on the provision of food information to consumers.
