This thesis is focused on definition of basic factors of localization of brewing industry in Czech Republic. Traditionally, beer is the part of Czech culture. The aim of this thesis is to identify main factors of localization, to analyze them and to evaluate their influence on spatial distribution of brewing industry in Czech Republic. Thesis is divided into four parts. The first part is focused on summary of basic theoretical knowledge of localization. The second part summarizes important facts about beer including history, production process and basic statistics of food and beverage and brewing industry. The third part analyzes spatial distribution of brewing industry in Czech Republic. The fourth part is focused on analysis and evaluation of the importance of factors of localization. In the end of thesis are summarized the results.

This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree Master of Architecture [Professional] at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa, in the year 2015 / This thesis explores the concept of social and cultural inclusivity and urban regeneration through a brewpub that celebrates South Africa’s rich drinking history. Growing up in a household where alcohol has been viewed as a negative factor that can actually destroy the family, I have always wanted to know if it could in fact ignite some positivity in the lives of society. Common social perception dictates our individual views and opinions on alcohol, and these perceptions sometimes differ from society to society, and from culture to culture. The history of beer is deep rooted in the soil of South Africa: from the traditional African beer makers who practiced ritual through their craft; to the notorious beer halls that were described as ‘drinking cages’ by the mine workers of Johannesburg. Today, the act of drinking beer is shared across multiple social spectrums – from the regular shebeen patrons to the trendy hipsters that crawl the city. Can these various social groups interact together over the common act of enjoying a beer with friends? Can a multi-cultural brewery overcome the many issues that occur within our diverse city? The three themes of health and morality, sociability, and state and nation, as suggested by Mack P. Holt in the book Alcohol: a social and cultural history, are the analytical tools that have been used to dissect the interesting body that is society and drinking. Ultimately, it is the understanding of these different aspects of consumption that has led me to the design of a new hybrid drinking establishment that could benefit the community in which it is situated. On a site known as the gateway to the Maboneng Precinct, the brewery houses all the functions necessary for the production of beer as well as a restaurant, coffee shop, curio shop, offices and a small learning centre. The brewery also offers the opportunity for aspiring brewers to occupy a brew lab and test their brewing skills on the market. The main patrons include the visitors of Arts on Main, residents in the area, Ellis Park spectators, students from the Doornfontein campus as well as people from many other walks of life. Hagaman says that beer holds a place “[…] in the total socioeconomic and ritual life of its brewers and drinkers,” and only once we learn from the past, take notes from the unknown and allow inevitable changes to happen, can such a place truly feel welcome and open for all. / EM2017

Thesis (M.Arch. (Professional))--University of the Witwatersrand, Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, School of Architecture and Planning, 2016. / In Johannesburg, sociability and drinking culture have complex pasts. Beer, especially, is tied up in multiple significances: a prominent role in many traditional African cultures; later, co-opted as a means of control by South Africa’s former government; rising as a strong socially cohesive identifier in emerging popular culture; and now, turning a new face to a culture of experimentation and excellence in the craft of brewing with one foot in the realm of wine snobs, and connoisseurs. I investigate my own family’s history of brewing in seventeenth century England as an introduction to a brief history of two important global, social drinking cultures – Mediterranean and Northern European – and apply this cultural lens to a reading of local, Johannesburg beer drinking. Beer can be understood as a strong symbolic agent in the construction of imagined communities and the realisation of experiences in multiple simultaneities of space and time. I investigate these imagined realities, and interrogate the current disjuncture between the consumption and production of beer. Finally, I propose a hybrid brewing facility as an architectural intervention in Booysens Reserve, a small industrial suburb in the south of Johannesburg, and look towards the unique conditions to explore, and opportunities for intervention which this part of the city, the intersection of multiple cultures, landscapes and industries, has to offer. / GR2017

The nature of the brewing industry in British Columbia is determined by its marketing environment. All aspects of the environment have some influence but it is the legal variable which is the dominant factor. There is no other industry which is as strictly regulated as the brewing industry. This regulation severely restricts the use of the marketing decision variables, the usual means by which a firm can combat the environment, and thus the industry is in the peculiar position of being able to do relatively little in order to encourage sales. The marketing environment is divided into five segments in this thesis and each segment is investigated in detail in order to determine its part in the overall picture. The constraints which the environment imposes on the decision variables are then examined and the means which are left for a firm to combat the environment are discussed. The decision to use a particular method requires that several activities be undertaken first, in order to arrive at that decision. The sequence of activities which lead to a decision constitutes the process of decision making. Such a process is fundamental to every firm. This thesis examines the theory behind the decision making process and a model is developed to describe the various steps. This model is then included in a general procedural model for systematically dealing with several problems. To test theory against practice, this latter model is compared step-by-step with an actual problem that occurred in the brewing industry. / Business, Sauder School of / Graduate

As dinâmicas formas de organização e atuação política do empresariado brasileiro têm despertado o interesse de estudiosos da ciência política e áreas correlatas do conhecimento. Este trabalho examina a atuação política dos empresários da indústria da cerveja por meio de um estudo das transformações ocorridas em sua entidade representativa no sistema corporativista, o Sindicato Nacional da Indústria da Cerveja, Sindicerv. Para tornar mais rica a compreensão das transformações no Sindicerv e na representação política do setor cervejeiro de maneira geral, paralelamente à história do Sindicerv, é discutido o contexto político-econômico brasileiro, assim como a evolução do mercado de cerveja no Brasil. / The dynamic methods of political representation implemented by the businessmen in Brazil have been the focus of many academic studies. This work, through the examination of Sindicervs (union of Brazilian beer producers) history, reveals the changing forms of political representation used by beer producers along the last century. In order to enrich the discussion on the changes that took place in the beer producers forms of political representation, along this text, political and economic aspects of Brazil are also discussed herein.
