Industrial Visit - Guiness Anchor Berhad

That day, everyone reach around 1:30 pm, half an hour earlier than the expected time. Ivan briefed us about the packaging lines etc production processes and much info about the brewing process had been delivered. For instance, the brewing process is now mainly managed through a software called BrewMax and therefore, requires only minimal manpower. There are 3 packaging lines (bottling, canning and drafting) procuding 45000 litre of beers per batch, which are further separated to 14 different brands. QA methods employed includes checking the pH value, color intensity, flavor testing etc. To cut down production cost, ratio of water to beer had been reduced from 5:1 to 4.3:1 now. However, we must also point out that GAB still retains its bronze accreditation. The industrial visit ends with 2 cups of free beer and a lovely group photo.
