The El Salvador plant was designed
to produce 2 million hectoliters of

THE PROCESS
MALT STORAGE
Malt is shipped
from overseas in
containers where
they are brought to
the brewery and
unloaded into the
Malt Silos.
THE PROCESS
MILLING
At the onset of brewing,
the barley malt is milled
to maximize extract
formation and an
efficient straining
operation.
THE PROCESS
MASHING
The ground malt is mixed in the
mash vessel. Milled or broken
adjuncts are mixed with water in a
cereal cooker. The adjuncts are
boiled and combined with the malt
in the Mash vessel. The temperature
of the mash is carefully controlled so
that the natural enzymes in the malt
break down the starches found in
the malt and the adjuncts into
fermentable sugars.
THE PROCESS
STRAINING
The clear, sweet extract
formed in the mashing step
(called wort) is strained from
the husk material in a Mash
Filter or a Lauter Tun. The
husk material, called spent
grains, serves as an excellent
cattle feed.
THE PROCESS
BOILING
The wort is collected in the
Brewkettle and brought to a
boil. Hops are then added. If
granulated sugar is to be used
as an adjunct, the sugar is
liquefied and added. Boiling
also enhances both the
evaporation of undesirable
aroma compounds and the
precipitation of excess protein.
THE PROCESS
WORT COOLING
When boiling is complete,
the wort is cooled to a
proper temperature in a
plate cooler to make it
ready for the addition of
the yeast.
THE PROCESS FERMENTATION
The yeast metabolizes
the fermentable sugars
formed during the
brewing process into
alcohol and CO2 in
temperature-controlled
fermenters. It is at this
stage that the wort turns
into beer.
THE PROCESS
AGEING
When fermentation is
complete, the green beer
is cooled and transferred to
ageing tanks in order for
the beer to mature. Over a
span of 2 to 3 weeks, the
beer mellows out and
develops its final flavor.
THE PROCESS
FILTRATION
After ageing, the
beer is further
chilled,
stabilized and
filtered.
THE PROCESS
BRIGHT BEER
Freshly filtered
beer is put in a
bright beer tank
ready for
packaging. Final
quality control
checks are made
to ensure that the
beer meets all the
stringent
specifications.
THE PROCESS
PACKAGING
State-of-the-art
automated bottling lines
are used to package Asia
Brewery products in
bottles and cans.
