The Lviv brewery started its development at the beginning of the XV century when there were created and strengthened different handicraft guilds. Those times appeared the brewery guild. The first statute of brewery guild saved till nowadays is dated by 1425. Brewery development was rapid and vivid. Unregulated appearance of numerous brewers caused a lot of troubles both to the city government and royal deputies. That is why in 1533 king issued an edict for regulating brewery in the city.
     Medieval cloisters played very important role in brewery development and improvement. Monks were sometimes not only craftsmen, but also brewery specialists having possibilities to investigate ancient manuscripts to choose the best receipts and brewery methods in the silent atmosphere of monk cells.
     At the second part of XVII century earl Stanislaw Pototskyj gave Jesuit monks, who got settled on his lands, the right to build brewery in the Krakow suburb of Lviv, on the former Belzchyna land, to "make good own beer".
     In 1715 the first industrial brewery enterprise was established in Klepariv. The beer was really good. They used water from artesian springs to prepare it; they also used hop and barley malt of high quality. Those times production techniques were perfect. Beer of ancient Lviv brewers became popular not only in Lviv region, but also in all Europe.
     Soon the brewery turned into one of the massive beer manufacturer in the Austria-Hungary Empire. They even could transport beer for long distances, but even after such a long journey it did not loose its qualities. That was some kind of miracle those times. The only reason of beer keeping term was its high quality. And when Jesuit Order lost its liberties and estates their rights for brewery in Lviv were taken by private owners at first, later – by Lviv Joint-Stock Brewery Community. The best brewery traditions were preserved and changed. Beer-lovers in Europe were familiar with "Bawar" beer, "Porter Imperial", "Exportowe" not only because of its high taste qualities, but also because of the firm glass bottles.
     After the Soviet power had been settled in Lviv, new stage in the brewery history started. Soviet economic executives took a special control over brewery. That was the best beer in the Soviet Union. It was transported almost every day for the Creml executives. "Lvivske" and "Zhygulivske" (beer of Lviv bottling) were for international sea and air passengers. The manufacturing of Lviv brewers was as a standard of high quality.
     Even after the break-up of the Soviet Union a lot of famous enterprises became bankrupts. "Colos" Public Corporation stood still despite plenty of problems it had. Moral and physical equipment exploitation, not stable material supply and other problems were clearly seen.
     Exactly at that time Scandinavian Company "Baltic Beverages Holding AB" became a business partner of enterprise thanks to the authority activity while seeking for potential investor. The capital of this company had been involved previously into the firm functioning by set of enterprises of beer-nonalcoholic industry in Russia and by "Slavutych" Public Corporation in Ukraine was signed in August 1999. From the beginning of the cooperation "Lviv Brewery" has received 32 billion US dollars as an investment. The enterprise is being modernized thanks to new investments; new equipment has been established. Labor conditions were considerably improved; price policy was advanced; workers have perfectionaized their qualification. Leading specialists have studies at Scandinavian School of Brewery, in Denmark at Branding School in Orcle (Norwegian), at the studying centre of "Siemens" Company in Moscow and in the prestige educational institutions of Ukraine.
