History
Beginnings
The first beer factory was built in Dojlidy in 1768 by the Dojlido family. In 1771, all of Białostock brewery was inherited by Izabella Poniatowska and production at the brewery stopped.
In 1891, the property was owned by the family of Count Rüdigerów. At their initiative and on the site of a former manor Krusensternów, a neoclassical style mansion was built, and near this a steam brewery was constructed.
The Doilidy Brewery was founded in 1891. It was taken over by the

After Poland regained independence in 1919, the General Administrator of goods, Baron Rudolf von Brandstein, through various informal discussions with the government authorities, managed to get permission to re-launch the brewery. The permit for the reconstruction was obtained despite the fact that the owner of the property Dojlidy, Sophia Kruzenszternów Rüdiger, lived permanently in Berlin and did not have Polish citizenship, so that the Minister of Agriculture and National Goods, under the law on agrarian reform, issued December 30, 1919 by the decision of acquisition of assets under state management. This order was never entered into force, and the property remained in the hands of the Baroness. In 1921, the Baroness sold the entire property for five million German marks to Dyskontowemu Bank in Warsaw and the Polish-American People's Bank in Kraków.
The entire property was sold to Prince George Lubomirski Raphael, in whose possession the beer company underwent a complete renovation. In the late twenties Dojlidy brewery occupied the seventh place in terms of beer production in the country and was the biggest such facility on the east of Poland. Dojlidy beer was sold in
