For the past two hundred years, Bielawa has been mainly associated with the textile industry. The industry’s factories and supporting facilities were successively expanded, and the Bielbaw or Bieltex companies were known throughout Europe. And so it went on until the first decade of the 21st century. Today, Bielawa is a city of many talents, oriented towards a diverse industry, drawing on the traditions and attractions of the region. In the current of these changes, the SOWIE Craft Brewery has found its place in the production halls of the former Bieltex since autumn 2017. It was then that the first brew of Sowie Pils was brewed at the Brewery.
The captivating beauty of the Sowie Mountains is a challenge and motivation to work. Our beer must be as perfect as the surrounding nature, as stunning and natural. This is the reason for our emphasis on beer classics, bottom-fermented products, lagers, pilsners, March beers or wheat beers.

We spent a long time assembling the brewing crew, looking for people who were experienced but still committed. We also discussed for a long time the styles and flavours with which our Brewery should be associated. Many people, both professional brewers and amateur gourmets, contributed to the final shape of Sowie beer.
One thing is indisputable with us – we do not compromise on quality. That’s why we use the best hops and malts available, and the artisanal production procedure is sacrosanct.

Everyone who has visited the Sowie Mountains at least once returns here. Sooner or later. We want our beer to be one of the reasons for the return. Consumed among the rustling trees. And if we miss the mountains somewhere far away in the world, so that an evening mug of Sowie can take us from home to the Great Owl was then that the first brew of Sowie Pils was brewed in the Brewery.
