History of the brewery
Founder of the Brewery
Entrepreneur Karol Vetter buys out the destroyed buildings of the Reformats monastery at Bernardyńska 15 and settles permanently in Lublin.
Bavarian beer production
Vetter announces the opening of the brewery. Bavarian beer is produced here and its production is based on the then new fermentation technology.
Steam engine
The demand for beer from the Vetter brewery is constantly growing, and the plant is undergoing modernisation and is still expanding. The effect of the changes is the installation of a steam engine, which significantly increases the volume of production.
Worthy successors
Karol Rudolf Vetter - the founder of the brewery and the creator of the family fortune passes away. He leaves his life’s work in the hands of his sons - August Karol and Juliusz Rudolf. They continue its business with full commitment and invest in the further development of the company.
Malt house
The Vetter Brewery is the first in the Lublin region to gain a malt house, where barley malt is produced for beer production.
In the footsteps of my father
August Vetter dies. His brother - the owner of a brewery, distillery and malt house - cares not only for his father's fortune, but also follows in his footsteps, conducts extensive charity work.
New Lublin Brewery
At the then Bychawska Street (today’s Kunickiego Street), a new Lublin brewery is being built, the founder of which is HerszJojna Zylber.
The plant adopts the name "Browar Parowy Jeleń". The brewery quickly gains recognition in the region due to the use of the highest quality raw material in the beer production process.
The interwar period
The brewery is severely affected by both wars. First, production is stopped, then, during World War II, the plant is taken over by the occupier, and the Zylber family ends up in a ghetto. Only Zylber’s son survives, who after liberation takes the name Stefan Jankowski and runs a brewery for some time.
Post-war times
Both breweries - Vetters' and Browar Parowy Jeleń - are nationalized. They are part of the Lubelskie Zakłady Piwowarsko-Słodownicze. The company changes its name again. This time to Zakłady Piwowarskie in Lublin.
Dynamic development of the company
As a result of the dynamic development of the company, all production is moved to a modern plant at Kunickiego Street.
Perła - Browary Lubelskie S.A.
The Old Brewery at Bernardyńska Street is adapted to an office building, where the headquarters of the company's management board is located.
The company changes its name to the one that is still in use today - Perła - Browary Lubelskie S.A.
