History

The Skopje brewery was founded in 1922 and began operations in 1924. In 1998, it was purchased by the Greek Coca-Cola Bottling Company and Heineken. ^[1]

Skopsko was introduced with the name "Light Beer" and it presented beer liner with 10% extract. Before World War II, the name of the beer was changed to "An Export Beer from Skopje" ("Скопљанско Експортно Пиво") with increased extract of 12%.
