Excitement is building in the city of progress as the highly anticipated Go Beer Brewery, a joint venture between Gweru City Council and a local investor, nears completion.
The state-of-the-art facility is currently at 70 percent and is expected to open its doors to the public before year’s end.
The brewery’s operations are expected to create job opportunities and stimulate the local economy.
The City Mayor Martin Chivhoko said the project was on track to meet its scheduled completion date, with the majority of the construction completed.
“The project is advancing as the opening of the brewery is set to be open before December. We anticipate that its opening will create employment for several people,” said Chivhoko.
Gweru Council Spokesperson Vimbai Chingwaramusee expressed joy with the progress that the city was making in developing the economy.
“We are happy about the completion of the brewery as this will ensure economic growth in the city,” said Chingwaramusee.
The local authority is furthering its commitment to sustainability by harnessing the brewery farm to provide raw materials for beer production.
This strategic move will yield multiple benefits, including reduced transportation costs and a minimized environmental footprint.
Cultivating essential ingredients locally will ensure a consistent and dependable supply chain for the brewery thereby supporting its operations and reinforcing the initiative’s focus on sustainability.
