The very first Beeronomics event in May 2009, the Leuven Beeronomics Conference I, turned out to be a great success. Since then, Beeronomics has been very much alive. A Beeronomics LinkedIn group was set up to allow Beeronomics enthusiasts to stay in touch. In June 2010, many Beeronomics members actively participated in the Beeronomics sessions at the conference of the American Association of Wine Economists in Davis, California. In addition, the number of publications on the economics of beer and brewing has been increasing and we received several expressions of interest for (hosting) future conferences and seminars.
 

To coordinate all these Beeronomics ideas and events, we proudly launched The Beeronomics Society, an international non-profit association of scholars and professionals analyzing the economics of beer and brewing, in August 2011.
 

In September 2011 Klaus Salhofer, Adriano Profeta and their colleagues from the Technische Universität München organized the Freising Beeronomics Conference II. Also Beeronomics II proved to be an inspiring event and stimulated many scientific and social interactions. The website of the Freising Beeronomics conference with the full program and links to all contributions is still online and can be found here.
 

The most recent Beeronomics event was the half-day symposium on “Beeronomics: The Economics of Beer and Brewing”, organized in November 2011 by the Center for Wine Economics and the Robert Mondavi Institute for Wine and Food Science at UC Davis.
