(j.s.c) it was founded in 1687 as an agricultural estate producing all kinds of goods and food products and is still in operation under the same name today :) ...

    The Romanian Timisoreana brewery was founded in 1718. The city of Timisoara was at the time part of the Habsurg Empire, but it was a Romanian City, now part of Romania and the name of the beer, Timisoreana, comes from the city's name, which is as Romanian as they come. This is a nice topic, but a little hard to pull off as countries change their territory a lot over the centuries.

    Scotland's oldest company is not the Royal Bank of Scotland (1695).
    It has 6 companies that are older. There used to be 8 until Robert Noble (1666), a textiles company, was sold in around 2015, and The Old College Bar (1515) burnt down in 2021.
    There's the Aberdeen Harbour Board, which the earliest records date back to 1136.
    The Sheep Heid Inn, a pub dating back to 1360.
    The Shore Porters Society, a removals and storage company from 1498.
    The White Hart Inn, a pub dating back to 1516.
    The Globe Inn, dating back to 1610.
    The Coylet Inn, a hotel dating back to 1650.
    The Aberdeen Harbour Board dating back to 1136 was, however, only discovered after this video was published.

    Sean's Bar (Ireland) isn't a company - it's a bar that operates in a building that (allegedly) has 10th century bits incorporated into the much later structure.
    The Royal Mint (England) was a branch of government and didn't become a company until the late 20th century.
    The Bank of Scotland is a company, but not the oldest in Scotland by a long chalk - the Shore Porters Society is a company formed in Aberdeen in 1498

    A bit of extra history on Gubernija from one of its interim financial reports (newsclient.omxgroup.com/cds/DisclosureAttachmentServlet?messageAttachmentId=317453):
    "GUBERNIJA is the oldest industrial brewery working in Lithuania which has developed from the manufactory manor house and the brewery. It is known that in 1682 its products reached not only different places in Lithuania, but also a part of western Belarus and Minsk. There is a document dated in the second half of the XVII century in the historic archives of Radvilos in Warsaw where the brewery of Šiauliai manor is described in details. “GUBERNIJA’ brewery is justly considered as the oldest brewery in Lithuania.
    The first reconstruction of “GUBERNIJA” brewery which started in 1799 lasted more than ten years. Later reconstructions of “GUBERNIJA” brewery took place every hundred years. The second reconstruction took place in the last decade of the XIX th century and the beginning of the XX th century. Till the end of the XIX th century all works were manual. Beer was tipped off into casks and only since the end of the XIX th century bottles came into the use. During the Second World War “GUBERNIJA” brewery was destroyed badly and burnt but in August, 1944 it started working again. The brewery developed little by little. In 1982 a spacious room for bottling was opened, in 1985 a new administrative building was built. In 1996 after privatization of “GUBERNIJA” brewery, a new period of the brewery history started. In 1996 a material reconstruction of the brewery was begun. A modern brewery with forward technologies was built in the territory of the Old Gubernija."
    There is also more info on its page on the Lithuanian Wikipedia lt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gubernija_(alaus_darykla)

    Key to Slavic pronuciation for foreigners speaking English is to learn individual pronunciation of C, R, K, I/Y and you will get most of them.
    Granted you won't know the gramma rules of pronunciation or symbols but because there are 3 things fundamentally different for all Slavs (as far as i know) you can pronounce them much more accurately.
    That is:
    C is more of like in the word "Citrus". Always.
    R is always hard unless there are some symbols indicating otherwise or special grammar rule... Yet it is always close to the harder r.
    And it is determined by grammar, unlike English where pronunciation changes somewhat fluently. Slavs have a clear and specific pronunciation that is never fluid. That's why there are those special symbols of grammar rules which can determine how specific word is pronounced.
    However a good rule of thumb is... If you can pronounce individuals Lettres, you can pronounce the words well because in the alphabet almost all Lettres always sound the way they would in words.

    I’ve learned that if you want to establish a company that would last. You open a brewery. So as long as you produce decent beer at a right price. You’ll have a loyal following to weather through any recession and economic boom. Since people will always drink their alcohol no matter what. They’ll just spend more or less depending on their economic situation.

      There are bound to be some claiming so but are likely just people claiming the roman roots of the region or specific area. I mean... You would call it One company if someone buys an old brewery, restores it and establishes successful business. They might take the pride of heritage into claims... But it isn't the same brewery.
