Tonga to develop mini brewery
Special correspondent Suva Tonga will become the first Island community to taste the benefits of a new type of Swedish mini brewery. Pripps Brewery, of Bromma, Sweden, said it had entered a joint venture with the Tongan government to develop ,a brewery under the Royal Beer Company Ltd, in Nukualofa.
Pripps had been developing mini breweries for economical small-scale production of premium lager beers by .Nsland communities.
Pripps said that the ’’relatively simple, labourintensive production process” could transform the economies ,of the smaller Pacific island nations. The mini breweries, have a minimum economic production level of between half a million to one million litres a year, compared with 100 ■ million litres produced by modern plants in developed countries. Tonga’s new
brewery has a planned capacity of 1.2 million litres a year. This could be increased to 1.8 million litres with minor modifications.”
