Factory owner installs brewery for thirsty workers

A Czech glassworks factory is opening its own brewery to stop workers getting thirsty.

Owner Frantisek Novosad says he expects his workers will have around six half-litre beers, which are around 3% alcohol volume, per day.

Temperatures in the factory at Harrachov, northern Bohemia reach 60 degrees Celsius.

The beers will cost 5 koruna (around 9 pence) each. Mr Novosad says his workers can drink as much as they like.

"I expect most workers to drink around six beers a day to stop them getting thirsty but some may want as many as 10," Mr Novosad told Ananova. He's calling it Worker's Beer.

Mr Novosad, who once worked in a brewery, has spent £200,000 pounds setting up the on-site brewery.

He says he also hopes to sell his beer to visitors to the factory.

Health and safety officials haven't issued any objections to the on-site brewery.
