Arizona Brewing Company
Completes Two Million
Dollar Expansion Program

The Arizona Brewing Company,
Inc, producers of Al Pilsner Beer,
last week opened it's new half mil
lion dollar brewhouse, the final step
in tbs So million expansion program.
Hundreds of dealers and thou
sands of interested spectators went
through the plant which was opened
to the public on Thursday.
Kurt Becker, deand of the Siebel
Institute of Technology, Chicago
said, "The equipment and physical
plant of the Al brewery is one of
the finest brewing installations I
have ever SEEN" A tour through
the plant justifies this experts
opinion. With all the facilities now
in operation which have been built
and installed during the expansion
program, the Arizona Brewing
Company is an awe-inspiring opera
ton. Everything is as clean as a
hospital surgery room: Kettles,
storeroomS, tanks, floors, walls,
cealing-all spotless.
At the same time, softly scented
air, sweet with malt, tangy with
hops, fragrant with yeast, make
the plant a pleasant place for men
to work with wholesome, natural
materials.
The Arizona Brewing Company
was a comparatively small opera
ton when j. F. Lanser, president,
took it over seven years ago. Since
that time there has been an expan-
sion of 1000 per cent in the output
capacity.
The new brewhouse, shiney and
clean as a kitchen, has a capacity of
producing 100000 barrels of Al an
nually. Only half this amount will
be brewed, officials said, until the
company extends it's marketing op-
erations beyond the present five
state area.
The company's size and impor-
tance is demonstrated by the fact
that in the past year gross sales
amounted to over $4,300,000.
