InBev plans Monmouthshire brewery expansion


InBev is seeking permission to expand its Magor brewery in Monmouthshire with space for a new pasteuriser. The extension is required due to an increase in production.

The brewery, which celebrated its 35th anniversary in September, is one of the largest AB inBev breweries in the UK. The site can produce 2 million bottles, 1.8 million cans and 13,000 kegs in a single day. It produces more than 792 million pints of beer per year.

The Brazilian/Belgian company currently employs 300 people and produces Stella Artois, Budweiser and Becks at the Magor brewery. The brewery was built in 1979 by Whitbread and currently operates 24 hours a day.
