27 January – By a decision of the State Administration for People’s Property in Skopje, the Industrial Company for the production of beer, malt and ice, which until then had been a joint-stock company, was declared a state-owned company, in accordance with the post-war order of the socialist state.
After liberation, a new era began in the work of Pivara Skopje. A period started in which expansion and modernization of the company were planned. In the first post-war year, 20,428 hectolitres of beer were produced, which was 12% less than the highest pre-war production.
06 May – By a decision of the Presidency of the People’s Republic of Macedonia, the company Parna Pivara – Skopje is registered, and this name remains for the next three decades.
At the proposal of the Presidency of the People’s Republic of Macedonia, Parna Pivara – Skopje is listed among the companies of greatest importance to the state.
The first reconstruction of Pivara Skopje is carried out, applying technical and technological innovations. This enabled an increase in production capacity to 50,000 hectolitres. In 1958, 1963, 1969 and 1974, four more major production investments followed, significantly increasing Skopje Brewery’s capacity.
“Pivarski Zbor” is published—an internal magazine intended to inform and educate employees at Pivara Skopje, and also a tool for direct communication with consumers. Stories, updates, and news about the Brewery—all in one place.
In addition to several types of beer and brewing malt, Pivara Skopje begins producing and distributing a wide range of non-alcoholic beverages, including: “Kola”, “Bitter-Lemon”, “Tonic”, “Orange”, “Mango” and “Soda Water”.
