The diligent and hard dedicated staffs working in the factory ensures the hygiene and quality of the products. Also the fact that most of the work in the factory is done by the machines that are controlled by its headquarters (outside of Nepal) ensures the work efficiency.

The three most important departments in the factory are the brew house department, bottling and labeling department and the packing department. The production takes place in the brew house department where the raw material like malt and maize are used in producing beer. The majority of the raw materials needed for the production are imported from Europe and Australia. The empty bottles are washed in a washing machine by using water and caustic at 78 to 85 degree C, according to the nature of the bottle. When cleaning is completed, the bottles are sent to filling machine where the automatic machine fills the empty bottles and also the capping is done in this department. After filling and capping the bottles, they are sent to pasteurizing tank where the bottles are sprayed by the water at 65-66 degree C. Finally, the filled bottles are stored and they are wrapped and packed in the cartoons with the company label. The packing department handles the sealing/trapping, cartoon transport and cleaning. When the bottles have passed through all these three departments, they are ready for sale.
