Birra Peja is a Kosovar beer company, founded in 1968 in the city of Peć (Peja) (then part of the Socialist Republic of Serbia within Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, today a partially recognized state of Kosovo) that produces a beer brand of the same name.
History
Beginnings
Construction of the beer factory began in 1968 on a 24-hectare site.[1] The first beer was produced in 1971. The company was then state-owned by Yugoslavia and was called Pećko Pivo. The pilsner beer "Pećko Pivo", the only variety produced there for a long time, was known and sold throughout the country before the Breakup of Yugoslavia.[2]
The maximum annual production capacity of the factory during that period was 280,000 hectoliters of beer.[2] After the Kosovo War (1998–1999), the name of the factory and its beer brand were changed to "Birra Peja", after the Albanian name of the city Peć.
