Plzeňský Prazdroj reports record year

One of the Czech Republic’s best-known brewing companies, Plzeňský Prazdroj, produced a record 11 million hectoliters of beer last year, a spokesperson said on Wednesday. That was a volume increase of 3 percent year on year for the brewer, which makes Pilsner Urquell. Exports grew by 8 percent in 2017.

Last year Plzeňský Prazdroj was bought by the Japanese group Asahi from SABMiller.
