COLONEL BEER EXPANDS ITS SPIRITS RANGE

The founder of Lebanese microbrewery Colonel Beer, Jamil Haddad, is planning to expand his range of spirits. In two months, his upgraded brewery will start producing gins, whiskies, rums, Cognac and, at a later stage, vodka. The brewery has the capacity to produce 250 liters per day, equivalent to 400 bottles of spirits. Investment in the upgrade, which will expand both the production capacity and range of spirits produced, is over USD 300,000, secured through Colonel Beer. With the extension, the project will be worth USD 5 million. Haddad won the Business of the Year award from the Brilliant Lebanese Awards, organized by BLC Bank, which supports local talent and entrepreneurship.
