In 2017, Alexandru Geamanu and Laurentiu Banescu were named Entrepreneurs of the Year for developing their craft beer brand Bere Zaganu.

“I would like to thank everybody who drank our beer (…) and one last thing – exactly four years ago, on this very date, we signed a contract and we brought this brewing facility and we started dreaming of building an authentic Romanian brand,” said Geamanu, the winner of last year’s Gala.

Last year, the company opened in Bucharest its first craft beer bar in a bid to support the further development of the business. The beer maker recorded a turnover of RON 3.5 million. It controls a production plant near Valenii de Munte.
