Modern brewing plant in Poznan was built between 1975-1980. In 1984 malt was added to the beer. By 1992, along with other brewers was part of Wielkopolskich Zakładów Piwowarsko-Słodowniczych SA, but after 1992 it became the company's main production facility - Lech Browary SA. In 1993, the ministry has decided to privatize the ownership of the brewery. As a result of the tender a majority shareholder in the company was Euro Agro Centrum Poznan, owned by entrepreneur Jan Kulczyk.
In 1996, the brewery was taken over by SABMiller, which in the same year, together with Jan Kulczyk purchased the Tyskie Brewery. Three years later, the two breweries were combined to form Kompania Piwowarska.
