Browar Janów Lubelski

Browar Janów Lubelski was a brewery based in Janów Lubelski, Poland. Its origins trace to 1907, when local citizens formed the share company Janowski Browar Udziałowy, and the brewery itself was built in 1909 near a mineral water spring that provided the basis for brewing. The enterprise operated under the Janowski Browar Udziałowy share company until 1939. During World War II it was taken over by German authorities, but the brewing equipment was preserved and production resumed in 1942 through the persistence of several pre-war co-owners. After the war the plant avoided nationalization for several years before being placed under the management of the Zakłady Przemysłu Terenowego in Lublin in 1951. It was fully nationalized in 1962 and in 1975 was merged with the newly built Zakłady Piwowarskie in Leżajsk. After 1989, heirs of the Janowski Browar Udziałowy company fought to recover the property, succeeding in 1997. Due to neglect and the technical condition of the plant, they could not restart brewing on their own; a newly formed company, Browar Janów Lubelski, leased the facility, brought it back into operation and rebuilt sales markets. Initially the brewery produced only a draught beer called Janów. From 2003 it began selling bottled beers under the Janów and Bieszczadzkie brands, with bottling initially done outside the brewery. From 2008 the plant had its own bottling line, which came from Browar Regina. In 2009 the brewery ceased beer production. Its product line included Bieszczadzkie, Janów Jasne Pełne and Janów Mocne.

The brewery was established in 1909 on the initiative of citizens of Janów Lubelski, who in 1907 had formed the share company Janowski Browar Udziałowy. The plant was built near a mineral water spring, which served as the basis for beer production. The Janowski Browar Udziałowy share company operated until 1939. During World War II the enterprise was taken over by the Germans, but the brewery's equipment was preserved and, from 1942, the plant resumed beer production thanks to the persistence of several co-owners of the pre-war company. After World War II the plant avoided nationalization for several years. In 1951 it was placed under the management of the Zakłady Przemysłu Terenowego in Lublin. In 1962 it was finally nationalized, and in 1975 it was merged with the newly built Zakłady Piwowarskie in Leżajsk. After 1989, heirs of the Janowski Browar Udziałowy company began a laborious struggle to recover the property. They succeeded in 1997. However, neglect and the technical condition of the plant meant they could not resume beer production on their own. They were helped by the newly formed company Browar Janów Lubelski, which leased the plant from the owners, took on its launch and the recovery of sales markets. Initially Browar Janów Lubelski produced only a draught beer called Janów. From 2003 it began selling bottled beer under the Janów and Bieszczadzkie brands. Initially bottling took place outside the brewery. From 2008 the plant had its own bottling line, which came from Browar Regina. In 2009 the brewery ceased beer production.
