Birra Korça

[1] Following World War II and the establishment of the communist regime in Albania on January 11, 1946, the brewery became state property.

In 2004, businessman Irfan Hysenbelliu, president of "Birra Korça LLC," purchased the brewery and invested €15 million in its renovation.

Utilizing the latest Czech and Italian technology, the brewery now produces 120,000 hectoliters of beer annually, ten times the output of the original facility.
