Belarusian beer producer Lidskoe Pivo has announced that it has changed the format of a can of KORONET Lager beer. Now this type of beer is available in cans with a volume of 0.45 liters, instead of the previous 0.568 liters (pint).
“This change was caused by forced circumstances: due to the sanctions imposed on the Republic of Belarus, the company faced difficulties in supplying cans with a volume of 0.568 liters from Western European suppliers,” the company said.
Lidskoe Pivor assures that the situation is being closely monitored, and the 0.568 liter format will be returned as soon as possible.
JSC Lidskoe Pivo is a private company that is part of the Olvi PLC Finnish holding. The parent company, Olvi plc, was founded in 1878 and has sales of 630.6 million euros in 2023. Lidskoe Beer provides 32% of the group’s total sales.
The Olvi Group includes: Olvi Oyj (Finland), AS Cesu Alus (Latvia), A. Le Coq AS (Estonia), Wolfas Engelmann (Lithuania) and Bryggeriet Vestfyen (Denmark).
