“The most efficient breweries are<br />
those that achieve and maintain<br />
a constant production level with<br />
a high brew frequency at an early<br />
stage,” explained Andreas Holleber,<br />
head of GEA's brewing business.<br />
“The higher the number of brews<br />
and the shorter the brew cycle, the<br />
lower the investment and operating<br />
costs. We help the customer avoid<br />
oversizing the equipment.”<br />
The new plant is designed for modular<br />
growth. Phase one provides for<br />
150,000 hectolitres (about 94,350bl)<br />
of annual output, which will grow<br />

314,500bl) in phase three. This will<br />
make Pittsburgh Brewing one of the<br />
largest breweries in Pennsylvania.<br />
