The company that started the brewery was called "Brauerei von Mullschitzký & Comp. zu Hannsdorf - Halbseit". In the very first year of its history, the brewery produced broadly 15.900 hl of beer and in the coming years the production increased and export was expanding. Since 1882 the brewery existed in Hanušovice under a name of "Brauerei von Chiari & Co. zu Hannsdorf - Halbseit". In the year of 1886 the brewery had a production of 23.006 hl. | |
