Country #8 – Poland

Pipping Venezuela into 8th spot is the Eastern European country of Poland (Polish: Polska). The country has a high-income economy and is considered to be one of the healthiest of the post-Communist countries in Europe, with a nominal GDP per capita of over US$13,500. There are 70 breweries in Poland (including 27 microbreweries) making it the third largest beer exporter in Europe. Clearly, they have a thriving beer export business as well as a beer consumption one!
