German food company Dr Oetker is planning to close one of Berlin's oldest breweries, the home of Berliner Kindl beer, as part of new cost-cutting measures. The brewery is closing its doors after more than 130 years in business. A spokesman for the company said Dr Oetker was planning to transfer production of Berliner Kindl to another of its breweries in the city. It is also closing a brewery in Dortmund, western Germany. The move is aimed at helping Dr Oetker to cut up to 450 jobs, as beer consumption in Germany declines, the company said.
