At the turn of the 20th century, the Okocim brewery was the largest brewery in the lands of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (which had been partitioned by Russia, Austria and Prussia at the end of the 18th century), and sixth largest, out of roughly 1600 breweries, in all territories of the Habsburg empire. By 1911 it was the fifth largest, with annual production reaching 380 thousand hectolitres.[1][2]
