Skol Breweries Ltd.

Down here at the Malabar Brewery unit in Poolani, things are always moving. We are located in Meloor, which is part of the Chalakkudy area in Trissur. It’s a pretty large site because you need a lot of space for the brewing process. There are big stainless steel tanks everywhere and the smell of grain is always in the air. It’s a very industrial environment. You’ll see people in boots and high-visibility vests walking across the floor at all hours because the shifts never really stop. It’s not a quiet place; there is the hum of cooling systems and the clinking of bottles on the lines. Our office part is just a small section of the building, mostly filled with logs and schedules. We spend a lot of time checking temperatures and making sure the machinery is running like it should. The weather in Trissur can get quite humid, so it gets pretty warm inside the plant during the middle of the day. We don’t have any fancy displays or a gift shop here. It’s just a production facility where we focus on getting the liquid into the bottles and out the door on the trucks. The trucks come and go from the loading bays all day long. It’s a lot of heavy lifting and keeping an eye on the gauges. It’s hard work, but it is what we do every day to keep the supply going.
