It was founded in 1848 by Ernst Ferdinand Handke, at a time, when Witnica was called Vietz in German. Under the name of Sternbr\u00e4u, the brewery won some regional fame. After the Second World War, the brewery was nationalized and frequently changed ownership between industrial malting and brewing complexes in Szczecin, Gorz\u00f3w Wielkopolski, and Zielona G\u00f3ra. After the political and economic changes, it won back its independence in 1991, was operated under different company names, and in 2007 it was close to financial ruin. However, since 2009, thanks to the help of an external investor, it was renovated and offers its product portfolio now all over Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>13<sup>th<\/sup> March 2011 saw us exploiting a beautiful spring day to visit this brewery.
