About us
Welcome to EFES - a world created with technologies perfected through experience and traditions. We started writing history 150 years ago and we are still writing it today.

A century of domestic beer history that we continue to write day by day.
The history of local beer traces its roots back to 1873, the period when in Chisinau the first factory for hop drink production was built. Then, beer became so popular that it was delivered even to the home, and for all the people who preferred to spend time around friends - dozens of places equipped with billiards and even bowling alleys were opened. By 1919, the factory was producing 4 types of beer in a volume of over 600 decalitres monthly. At the same time, the factory was one of the most technologically advanced, having huge boilers and even bottling lines.
Company’s visions and mission
We, the EFES team, work continuously to offer all beer lovers the opportunity to enjoy an incomparable taste of the highest quality beer, produced with care and passion using the best performing equipment. However, we also demand this responsibility towards our product from the consumers. We firmly believe that beer consumption must be moderate and as responsible as possible
Moreover, we do not accept under any circumstances the excessive consumption of our products, as well as driving after consuming them, consumption during working hours or during sports. Individual responsibility for us is a defining element, which motivates us to create unique products, but also which will only be fully appreciated in suitable, safe and permissive situations.
