Sagres lager beer

Sagres is one of Portugal's most iconic beer brands, originally launched in 1940 by the Central de Cervejas company. The brand was created to celebrate the Portuguese World Exhibition and is named after the town of Sagres, which is associated with the Age of Discovery. It has since become a staple of Portuguese culture and one of the country's best-selling beers.

While the brand maintains deep roots in Portugal, its ownership has transitioned through international hands. Today, Sagres is owned by Sociedade Central de Cervejas e Bebidas (SCC), which is a subsidiary of the Dutch brewing giant Heineken N.V. The primary production facility is located in Vialonga, Portugal, where the beer is brewed according to traditional methods to serve both the domestic market and numerous export destinations worldwide.
