The new brewery will have a capacity of around 500,000 hectolitres per year, employing 100 to 120 personnel and is expected to be opened by 2010. The required investment for the project is $30m. The brewery will be jointly funded by SAB Miller and Coca Cola and as of June 2008 is going through a planning application phase.
I hope we see Pilsner Urquell on tap in NZ as a result. The bottled beer is very good but having had draft in the CP it’s a treat not to be missed.
