The Three Oaks Brewery

On the place where the brewery stands, there was an earlier distillery, built around 1740 by a group of Saxons from Cisnadie. In 1782, the doctor Ioan Piuariu-Molnar bought it raised a new building in the backyard, in which he installed knitting and weaving machines, with all the opposition of the Saxon guilds in Cisnădie and Sibiu.
After his death, his son sold the property. Between 1912 and 1913, the brewery was built in the same yard, and became known as Thomas Binder & Sons Brewery.

The owner's ambitions were great: the factory was equipped with imported boilers, and he hired experienced workers from Bohemia. At the beginning, the brewery produced 10000 hl of blonde beer called Rex and black beer called Bock. I time, the production increased, but the building was damaged during the First World War.
In 1948, the Romanian State nationalized the brewery and changed its name to Bere Sadu. Its production reached 220.000 hl per year. In 1995, the brewery was again privatized, and produced beer until 2000, when it was finally closed.
Here are some of the beers produced over time: Cibin (11º), Binder (12º), Trei Stejari (12,5º), Sadu (13º), Dumbrava (16º), Porter black (20º).
