Beogradska industrija piva (abbr. BIP; full legal name: Beogradska industrija piva, slada i bezalkoholnih pića a.d. Beograd) is a brewery with headquarters in Belgrade, Serbia.

In addition to a range of beers, the brewery produces soft drinks, vinegar, and yeast.[2]

History

The old Great Beer Hall in Belgrade.

The brewery was founded in 1839, although it operates under current name Beogradska industrija Piva since January 1963.[3]

At one time, BIP had the largest market share of beer sales in Serbia, but lost ground to rivals back in 2000.

In July 2007, the brewery was sold to the consortium consisted of "United Nordic Beverages AB" and Alita for 26.5 million euros.[4] In February 2010, the privatization was terminated, due to non-fulfillment of investment obligations.[5] In October 2012, Privatization Agency of Serbia announced that it had won the case against the former owners, meaning they will have to pay 17 million euros in the name of compensation.[6]

Market data

As of 2015, BIP has a market capitalization of 2.04 million euros.[7]
