Responsibility (CSR) more and more. CSR is a system of management, which has a long history but it had started to ascend in 1950s. Corporates starts to realize, that to achieve their goals is now more difficult than ever. It is necessary to contribute sustainability, take care of maintaining positive relationships with all company stakeholders, protect the environment, behave ethically and spend its financial resources in an efficient way. Social responsibility may be divided into three areas – economic, social and environmental. CSR concept is not regulated by legislative and every activity combined with it, are purely voluntary. Although, in April 2014 European parliament adopted a directive, which require from specific companies a CSR report. CSR implementation comes with many benefits for society but also for the companies themselves. Advantages include for example gaining positive image, stronger market placement, growing sales, reducing costs on risk management or increase motivation and loyalty of employees. CSR had become one of the trends of nowadays life. Consumers are more careful what they buy, who is the producer of the specific product or if the brand has a good reputation. This can sometimes lead to pressure on corporates, that they have to respect their consumers and society and they just have to do more for others than it is determined by law. People start to realize how important role plays SCR in the world and in our future. The aim of the project is to make a report of companies Pilsner Urquell and MillerCoors and afterwards comparing them. The project will focus on society and how people feel about CSR. That will be represented also in the practical part. 3 Company´s history This chapter should describe the companies Pilsner Urquell and MillerCoors. Also the environment that the companies work and process in, their history, financial situation and management (organisation structure) Pilsner Urquell For Czech part of this project we had picked Pilsner Urquell, which is one of the most favourite beers in Czech Republic with market share 43% (Conbiz, 2019). It is the leader of beer agriculture in Czech Republic. Basic information Pilsner Urquell is very significant producer and exporter of Czech beer, which is brewed in four breweries, Pilsner Urquell and Gambrinus in Pilsner, Radegast in Nošovice and in Velké Popovice in the middle Bohemia. The biggest breweries are Pilsner Urquell and Gambrinus.Czech people are very proud on their beer and especially on Pilsner Urquell, due to its famous, delicious taste and golden colour, which has changed the whole thinking and producing of beer. It was founded in 1842 and was also named by the city – Pilsen. Its headquarters are situated in Pilsen, although the beer had expanded all over the world so the product is available to people everywhere. Pilsner Urquell is the leading brewing company in Central Europe. They export mainly to Germany, Slovakia and South Korea. The product is available in 330 ml, 355 ml and 500 ml cans and green or brown bottle. We found out by one survey that people in Bohemia still prefer the historical and more environmental glass bottle. The survey consists of 50 respondents, where are 24 men and 26 women. Respondents answered question: What type of covers do you prefer? And answers were: 48 % in glass bottle, 42% in barrel and 10 % in cans. When a customer buys glass bottle Pilsner Urquell, they also pay a deposit, which will be refunded, when the bottle is returned. Wastes that Pilsner Urquell produced in 2017 were recycled or reused 98.5 %. This is less about 0.3 % than from year 2016 (Plzeňský Prazdroj, Naše pivo, 2019). The brown bottles are distributed mainly to USA. Under the Pilsner Urquell are a lot of brands and they are: Gambrinus, Kozel, Radegast, Birell, Excelent, Frisco, Kingswood, Master, Kopparberg, Klasik and Primus (Plzeňský Prazdroj, Naše pivo, 2019). Pilsner Urquell is considered as the largest Czech beer exporter in almost 50 countries around the world and on Czech market represents roughly 48 %. The Pilsner Urquell brand 4 represents the legendary pale lager with an alcohol content of 4.4 %. The company employs cca 2250 people and they made 20 000 indirect job opportunities. It is possible for employees but also for public undergo trainings as in beer quality, tapping and serving. In 2015 they became responsible corporation and got award for long-term contribution

Purinton Abstract of Dissertation Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University August, 2016 2 Abstract The Pilsner-style beer is the most popular and widespread beer style in the world with local variants and global brands all competing in marketplaces from Asia to Africa to the Americas. Yet no one has ever examined why this beer and not another was able to capture the global market for malt beverages. This is important from the point of view of the study of beer as a commodity, but its greater importance is in the way the spread of the Pilsner style serves as a visible, traceable marker for the changes wrought by globalization in an age of empire. Its spread was dependent not only on technological innovations and faster transportation, but also on the increased connectedness of the world, and on the political structures like empires that dominated the world at the time. Drawing upon a wide range of archival sources from Great Britain, Germany, Ireland, and South Africa, this study traces the spread in consumption and production of the Pilsner in the British Empire between 1870 and 1914.

  • History of the Original Golden Beer – Pilsner Urquell
    History of The Original Golden Beer – Pilsner Urquell Origins of Beer • Beer is as old as civilization itself. The oldest records of brewing are about 6,000 years old and refer to the Sumerians. • The Babylon King Hammurabi established daily beer rations based on social standing. • The Chinese brewed beer 5,000 years ago called “Kui.” • Barley for brewing was so important to early Romans that they honored the grain on their coins. • But beer was always dark, cloudy, and brown – until 1842, when beer was changed forever. The Golden Beer Revolution In 1842, Josef Groll discovered the original technique for brewing golden lager and brewed the world’s first golden beer – Pilsner Urquell. The golden pilsner was born in the cradle of brewing civilization – Pilsen, Bohemia. The unique climate and the world’s best ingredients led to a breakthrough and the start of the golden beer revolution. The golden beer became the beer of kings and aristocrats. They would drink the pilsner out of clear glasses as a status symbol. The new beer was so spectacular it inspired the creation of the pilsner glass. Pilsner Urquell in the United States Pilsner Urquell was the first beer exported to the United States in 1871. By the turn of the century, Pilsner Urquell was the No. 1 imported beer in the United States prior to prohibition. With the start of Prohibition in America in 1920, however, Pilsner Urquell’s reign ceased. During the dark days of prohibition, drinking was pushed to the backrooms and speakeasies; exportation of Pilsner Urquell stopped and didn’t regain momentum until years later.

Its mild-malty sweetness is balanced with floral Bavarian hops (Mittelfruh & Tettnang) making it an appropriate apres-ski or anytime light-bodied lager beer. (Grain-to-Glass: 4-5 weeks) FLAVOR PROFILE/AROMA/INGREDIENTS: German lager yeast, moderate bitterness, herbal/floral hop notes, light grainy malt, medium-light body. NOTABLE EXAMPLES & COMPARABLES: Beck’s, Warsteiner, Trumer, Weihenstephaner, Paulaner, Pinkus, Bitburger, Radeberger, EKU Pils (Germany) Stiegl Pils (Austria) Sierra Nevada Nooner, Firestone Walker PIVO Pils, Brooklyn Pilsner (USA) BOHEMIAN BREWERY / SALT LAKE CITY, UT FALL/WINTER 2020 BEERS SPECIAL SEASONAL RELEASE BEER X STYLE MUNICH HELLES LAGER ALCOHOL/STRENGTH 0% 2% 4% 6% 8% 10% 5% A.B.V.

Helles lager beers balance a touch of sweetness with a measurable addition of spicy German hop flavor, which provides a light bitterness. Soft and bready malt character — but with a clean & crisp finish — this is a refreshing beer with substance.

  • Let's Have a Beer in Pilsen
    EN www.visitpilsen.eu Let’s have a beer in Pilsen Pilsen, Capital of Beer Less than an hour’s drive west of Prague you’ll find a town made famous by its beer, the taste of which is sought out by beer lovers all over the world. The world-renowned Pilsner lager (derived from the name of the city) was born in Pilsen and has become a synonym for similar beers made across continents. Wherever you drink a pils, pilsner or pilsener-style beer, you’ll know that its producers found their inspiration here in Pilsen. Pilsen has many beer experiences in store for you if you decide to visit the city. You can sample a properly poured Pilsner in its most genuine, unfiltered form and take a tour of the world famous brewery. You can also enjoy dozens of different beers from local micro- breweries or relax in a beer spa. However, traveling to Pilsen only because of beer would be a real shame. Pilsen is a city with over seven hundred years of history where you can admire the Gothic Cathedral of St. Bartholomew, visit the second largest synagogue in Europe and see many more interesting sights. The historical centre is encircled with city parks that are strewn with lovely pubs and restaurants. In nice weather we recommend that you enjoy your beer here. Cheers! History of Pilsner Beer Brewing has a rich tradition in Pilsen. The first beers were brewed here just after the town was founded in 1295. At the time, the Czech king granted some of Pilsen’s burgher houses the right to brew beer.

  • The Sword and the Armour Brewing in Queen Victoria’S Day
    Brewing history The Sword and the Armour Brewing in Queen Victoria’s day At the German Brewing Congress of June 1884, the redoubtable Max Delbrück, Director of the Experimental and Teaching Institute for Brewing in Berlin, announced: “With the sword of science and the armour of practice, German beer will encircle the world.” It was no idle boast. In 1887 beer output in the German states exceeded that in the UK for the first time and Germany became the largest producer of beer in the world. by Ray Anderson ifty years earlier, when the 18-year-old F Victoria came to the throne, it was unthinkable that Germany would hold such a position. Britain was the premier brewing nation, with London’s massive porter breweries of “a magnificence unspeakable”.

  • Asahi Breweries Europe Group
    Asahi Breweries Europe Group 3 It is my great pleasure to introduce the Asahi Breweries Europe Group Established in April 2017, we are the Central European wing of Asahi Group Holdings, a traditional Japanese producer of beer, whisky and a wide range of food products, with a rich history that can be traced back to 1889. In the heart of Europe, we are custodians of a range of around 40 well-established and admired local brands, some of which have be- come national icons. We build on hundreds of years of craftsmanship and brewing traditions. We actually gave the world the grandfather of the whole lager beer category, and we are extremely proud that we still brew our Pilsner Urquell the same way as in 1842. Our purpose is to inspire better drinking experiences by brewing Kando moments. Simply said, we want people to drink better, not more. We focus on our range of premium brands, and while fully re- specting tradition, we also look to the future. We regularly embark on journeys to enlarge the beer category, shifting the borders with prod- ucts for new audiences. We run 11 breweries, the oldest one dating back to 1629, and brew 33 million hectolitres of beer every year. This means we have the scale to shape the category, while maintaining the agility to move fast. Our beers are enjoyed in 60 countries around the world, exported either through our own export organisations or a wide network of partners. None of the above would be possible without our team of 7,400 great professionals, who are passionate about what they do.
