The Russian beer market grew steadily up to 2007, but sales have stalled and currently chalk up 90mhl with a per-capita consumption of 65 litres. These figures do not exactly suggest that setting up a new brewery in Russia at present could prove to be a successful enterprise, Yet, the Moscow Brewing Company refused to be intimidated and at the end of 2008, started up production at a new brewery in Mytischchi, just outside Moscow. And, not wanting to do things by halves, commissioned three new KHS filling lines: A glass line with a capacity of 50,000x0.5-litre bph, a PET line processing 22,800x1.5-litre bph, and a keg line that was initially programmed to rack 80 kegs/hour, but that can be expanded to 120kph.
