North Korea plans to open three hundred pubs in the capital Pyongyang this year once it has rebuilt an English brewery.

Seoul-based Yonhap news agency said North Korea acquired the 175-year-old Ushers brewery, in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, at the end of last year, dismantled it and began rebuilding it in Pyongyang in January.

The reports said the pubs would be managed by a state-run agency managing other restaurants and bars in Pyongyang.
