Not everyone knows that the Barnaul Brewery is one of the largest enterprises in Altai. More than a century has passed, and he still leads the brewing industry in the food industry of the region.

A bit of history

It all started in the late eighties of the nineteenth century. It was then that the Vorsin brothers Fedor and Ivan built the first beer factory in the city of Barnaul. The drink was brewed according to the old German technology and sold in their own drinking establishments. The fame of beer spread quickly, so by the beginning of the 19th century it was known not only in Russia, but also abroad. Built in 1978, the Barnaul Brewery has become a worthy successor to the traditions of famous countrymen.

During the construction of the enterprise, a place was selected for a long time. First, it was necessary to take into account the size of the future giant. Secondly, it was necessary to think over in advance all the subtleties regarding raw materials. Indeed, for such a product, one of the most important components is water. This is probably why Barnaulthe brewery was erected in the place where the quality of groundwater best met the required indicators. As a result, an artesian well appeared on the territory of the enterprise, the water from which directly enters the production workshops. Its depth exceeds two hundred meters, which in itself gives a certain guarantee of purity. Now the Barnaul Brewery is a large production unit. And in a couple of years the enterprise will celebrate its fortieth anniversary.

Production capacity

After the privatization, the enterprise was transformed into OJSC Barnaul Brewery. Today, modern equipment has been installed in the production workshops, which prepare about twenty-seven varieties of excellent beer and about 40 types of non-alcoholic products.

In recent years, the company's management has carried out a major modernization. In some workshops, only morally and physically obsolete mechanisms were replaced, while in others, entire lines were upgraded. So in 2008 a serious reconstruction was carried out at the site of washing and subsequent bottling of beer into kegs. In its place, a new line of German production is now operating. Also in the Czech Republic, equipment was purchased for the complete mechanization of the process of bottling and corking glass bottles with a crown cork.

As a result, the productivity of this section has significantly increased, which, of course, was reflected in the amount of profit received. The section for drying and washing bottles was not left without attention.
