Bavaria Brouwerij was founded by Laurentius Moorees in 1719 and produced around 88 kegs of beer annually. Jan Swinkels, born in 1851, great-grandson of Laurentius Moorees, received ownership of the brewery and expanded its production and distribution. By 1924 the brewery had become too small and a new brewery was built and in 1933 the brewery added a bottling plant, which produced 2,000 bottles per hour. Prior to that In 1910 a malting plant was built, which still produces malt for Bavaria and other breweries. Bavaria is currently available in over 100 countries worldwide and is producing over 600 million litres of beer annually, which means that Bavaria is the second largest brewery in the Netherlands. Bavaria is still managed under the leadership of the Swinkels Family (7th generation).
