George Rowley (born 1964) is a British entrepreneur who is often credited with starting the absinthe revival in the popular market in Western Europe.
[1] Rowley was born in England, started his career within insurance and moved to Prague in the early 1990s to assist a local subsidiary.
It was in Prague that he first experienced both Czech beer and absinth, and he launched several alcoholic drinks ventures when he moved back to England.
[2] In 1996, he founded Bohemia Beer House Ltd. (later BBH Spirits).
In 2010, with Marie-Claude Delahaye, he presented evidence to the FFS in support of the repeal of the French Absinthe ban of 1915.
