Cervecería y maltería Quilmes is an Argentine Brewery founded in 1888 in Quilmes, Buenos Aires Province, by Otto Bemberg, a German immigrant.
The company quickly started growing and in the 20s it was already the most popular beer in Buenos Aires. Since then, it has become something of a national symbol. It sponsors the Argentina national football team, and the colours of its labels are Argentina’s light blue and white.
As of 2005, Quilmes has plants in Quilmes, Zarate, Tres Arroyos, Corrientes, Tucuman and Mendoza. It is also exported to Peru, Ecuador, Mexico, Puerto Rico, USA, Spain, France, UK, Italy and of course Australia.
Argentina’s favourite beer comes from the capital, Buenos Aires. It is a 4.9% lager style beer with a very distinguishable taste that is very well known to the South American community.
