Martens has built a 3-million hectolitre brewery, which is claimed to dramatically reduce the capital costs of establishing a new brewery as well as the cost of beer production. Measuring just 200 metres by 350 metres, the plant houses utilities, brewhouse, filtration, yeast management – for four different yeast strains – and fermentation areas, plus a wastewater treatment plant.
The Belgian facility began production on 1 May, 2007 and currently operates two large bottling lines. Martens is also involved in the construction of an identical plant in Suzhou, China for Far Eastern Textile.
The Martens Brewery of Bocholt, Belgium, has introduced their new Martens Low Carbohydrate. The brewery claims this imported beer has the lowest carbohydrate count of any other beer on the market with 2.1 grams of carbs per serving. “The response to this beer has been incredible,” says Rick Davis.
Elite Brand Imports Vice President, Sales and Marketing. “Martens Low Carbohydrate has three huge benefits for consumers. It’s got fewer carbs than any other beer, it’s imported from Belgium, and it tastes like a regular, highcarb beer. “The beer is brewed and bottled in Belgium, and will be introduced to markets nationwide over the next several months.
