About the Founder
Pascal Baars – Founder of GlobalBeerIndex
“For me, beer is more than a product — it’s craftsmanship, culture, and context.”
With more than 17 years of experience in data strategy, analytics, and performance intelligence,
Pascal has helped organisations turn complex datasets into clear, structured insights.
Within the beer world, he noticed the same recurring challenge:
plenty of data, but little structure — and even less clarity.
To close that gap, he founded GlobalBeerIndex, combining:
- deep expertise in structured datasets and analytical frameworks,
- a passion for beer styles and sensory evaluation,
- and formal training as a Doemens Biersommelier and STiBON BIERambassadeur
into one independent platform. His focus is to make
beer style data, sensory benchmarks, and competition insights
accessible and reliable — helping breweries, educators, and competitions
work with clearer, more evidence-based knowledge.
