Estonia: Important breweries experience capacity limits

Important Estonian breweries experience a lack of excess production capacity and turn down small-volume private label stock orders from casual retailers.

A.Le Coq, though, is involved in private-label beer bottling for large retail chains, such as Rimi, Selver or ETK.

Viru Ôlu brewer is dedicated to private-label strong beers to discount store chains Elektra and VP Market. In addition, the former Pärnu Ôlu brewer stopped private label beer production after the new owner launched premium beers brewing.
