In 2011, Wernesgruner Brauerei from the Vogtland in Saxony, Germany, celebrated its 575th anniversary in its traditional brewery pub barn, with around 450 individuals from the world of politics, business, sport and the media etc. The event was not only significant it its marking of 575 years of brewing tradition; it also focused on the pioneering measures which helped secure the brewery's future. In the presence of minister president of Saxony Stanislaw Tillic, the management of the brewery gave the official go-ahead for the completion of a 25M/Euro investment in a new production shop and new filling system. The building now stands and the KHS line, with a capacity of up to 50,000/bph, is running to everyone's utmost satisfaction. An overview of the project is given in this article.
