E.E.B.B-tako bizimodu eta politika askotan kritikatzen dugu baina garagardogintzan dagoen mugimenduari dagokionez oso interesgarria den herrialde bat dela onartu beharrean gaude.
2012. urtean artisau garagardo (1) enpresen salmentak E.E.B.B-etan saldu zen garagardo guztiaren %6-a baina gehiago suposatu zuen. Datu hauek artisau garagardoak gero eta presentzia handiagoa duela E.E.B.B-tan adierazten du, inoiz lortutako datu hoberenak izanik.
Lehenengo 50 garagardo enpresen artean 39 dira artisau garagardo enpresak. Beheko taulan “parentesi” artean duen letra bat edukitzeak marka desberdinak biltzen dituen garagardo talde bat dela esan nahi du:
