Lida is a major historical center of brewing. The oldest factory in Belarus, Lidskoe Pivo, has been producing beer and beverages since 1876. The rich history of the Company begins with Nosel Pupko. On his own plot of land, he built a small brewery, which has never stopped working throughout 146 years and brews the legendary beer under the LIDSKAE brand name to this day. So, it is not surprising that a modern interactive Lida Brewery Museum was opened exactly in Lida.
"On March 29, Lidskoe Pivo celebrates its 146th birthday and presents everyone with a gift – it opens the doors of the Lidskoe Brewery Museum. Our team has been working diligently for several years to create the museum. In 2018–2019, restoration works were conducted to restore the facades of the historic brewery building. In 2020–2021, internal renovation work was carried out in the museum premises. The final stage was the creation of the museum exhibition using modern multimedia technology, which, in my opinion, allowed us to seamlessly combine history and modernity. Come visit us, and you will see everything with your own eyes," Audrius Mikshis, General Director of Lidskoe Pivo, invites to the museum.
