Voronezh Brewery is one of the largest city enterprises. Residents of the city associate with him a whole microdistrict and even a public transport stop. Over the years of its existence, the plant changed not only its appearance, but also the brand of its products. About the location, history and, most importantly, the beer of the Voronezh brewery - in our material.
Where is
The company is located on one of the main streets of the city. The address of the Voronezh Brewery is 109 January 9th Street.
The nearest public transport stop is called “Ul. Machine-builders ”, but locals usually call it“ Brewery ”.
You can get there by personal transport. The street is equipped with a large number of free parking spaces. But it is worth remembering that January 9 is one of the problematic streets of the city. The Voronezh brewery is also associated among residents with huge traffic jams. This is a real problem that should be remembered when planning your trip to the capital of the Black Earth Region.
Appearance story
Voronezh brewery appeared in the pre-war era, back in 1936. The project promised to be colossal: in 14 years a large-scale enterprise was to appear on the streets of the city. We managed to erect some of the workshops, but then a terrible event occurred - the Great Patriotic War.
Fierce battles began on the territory of the Voronezh region, and in ready-made buildings they began to produce Molotov cocktails, which were immediately delivered to the front. Thus, the Voronezh brewery managed to contribute to the Great Victory.
Already in 1943 the city continued the construction of the enterprise, and by 1945 the production of target products went on as usual.
The plant successfully existed until perestroika, during which it followed the example of other Russian enterprises and entered the stage of rapid stagnation.
Salvation came at the beginning of a new era, when investors were found who decided to make a financial infusion and save the once-powerful production. First, the Voronezh brewery was bought by the Yarpivo company, and then the latter was absorbed by Baltika. So these days this enterprise is reliably protected by a huge beer holding and its almost century-old history continues rapidly.
Today, city residents can notice that the company does not stop at the reforms. The old and inefficient building of one of the workshops has already been demolished and a new one has been erected. Machine tools and other modern equipment are regularly purchased, and production does not stop for a minute.
What was done before
Before the onset of the “light streak”, only Zhigulevskoye beer was leaving the conveyor of the Voronezh brewery. For local residents, it was associated with low quality and low price. We can say that this brand was a kind of “meme”, which was firmly entrenched in the memory of local gourmets.
What is produced today
Constant modernization of equipment allows the Voronezh brewery to expand its range all the time. If at the start of reforms, only the aforementioned Zhigulevskoye and Baltika were produced from the assembly line, today this list has expanded significantly.
Now the company produces the following brands of alcoholic beverages: Baltika, Yarpivo, Arsenalnoye, Nevskoye beer, Tuborg, Carlsberg, Asahi, Kronenbourg 1664.
Thus, to the surprise of domestic beer gourmets, it turned out that the French “Cronenburg”, Japanese “Asahi” and even the Danish “Carlsberg” are not produced anywhere, but in the most ordinary city of Voronezh, which has nothing to do with ancient brewing traditions. However, this does not prevent the resulting product from meeting the declared quality and taste, as well as fulfilling the franchise conditions for the production of alcoholic beverages under very well-known brands.
The emergence of a distribution network
Not so long ago, the Voronezh brewery celebrated its anniversary. The company turned 80 years old. On this occasion, the administration decided to restore the old traditions and opened its trading network.
It all started with a small shop in the factory, where you can buy the famous "Zhigulevskoe" beer, as well as a small assortment of snacks for alcohol. The choice of the brand was quite logical, because it was she who became a real city attraction, which continues to be loved by local residents and visitors.
Today, the trading network has expanded somewhat. You can see the shops of the Voronezh brewery in Stary Oskol, Semiluki, Liski and other large regional centers of the Voronezh region.
Concluding the topic, we note that the beer produced does not differ in unambiguous taste. But everyone can evaluate the products of the enterprise on their own. One thing is for sure: this plant has a colossal and difficult history and gives work to a huge number of residents of Voronezh. It is difficult to predict what exactly the enterprise will have in the future, but I want to believe that only the best years are ahead.
