Bulgaria: Kamenitza launches craft brewery in Plovdiv

Bulgaria's Kamenitza, part of U.S.-based Molson Coors Brewing Company, has opened a craft brewery in the city of Plovdiv following an investment of 2 million euro ($2.2 million), local media reported.

The craft brewery is located at a part of the site of Kamenitza's former beer factory in Plovdiv built in 1881 which the company used to operate until 2015, business news daily Capital reported.

Kamenitza plans to produce around 1,200 hectolitres of craft beer per year in the new brewery, which spreads on 3,500 sq m and has already opened 40 new jobs, the Capital said.

In 2015, Kamenitza moved its beer production from Plovdiv to its other brewery located in Haskovo, some 90 km to the southeast.

In 2017, Kamenitza sold 30,500 sq m of the land where its former brewery in Plovdiv was built to two local companies but said it would retain ownership of a portion of the land to build a craft brewery.

Kamenitza's portfolio includes the Kamenitza, Astika, Burgasko and Slavena beer brands, as well as the international brands Stella Artois, Beck's and Staropramen.
