WARCOP was established in the summer of 1999 . The project and plant was going to be set up in Moscow initially but a decision was taken to implement and introduce our beers to the home market before we set up in Moscow .
The name WARCOP derives from the family initials -
W (illiam) - husband
A (nn) - wife
R (hian) - daughter1
C (eri) - daughter2
O (wain) - son1
P (icton) .
