Swiss beer empire Feldschlösschen

Writes el-magico:

I never have been in the factory for the production of beer, but at the time of the study tour we dragged by force to the plant. Forced to watch the production of the ancient machines, and then another, and poured beer and forced to eat pretzels. Swiss terrible and arrogant type of course! Although the beer I drink of alcohol-only, and then only a few times a year, the mood in Europe, I have the mood was almost every day. After all, there are many types of beer and non-alcoholic including.
