Quilmes 1890 Beer

Quilmes is the most iconic beer brand in Argentina, founded in 1888 by Otto Bemberg in the city of Quilmes, Buenos Aires. The '1890' variant is a specialty blonde lager that pays tribute to the year the brand first began its commercial sales. Historically, it has been the dominant beer in the Argentine market, deeply tied to the country's national identity and sports culture.

While the brand remains quintessentially Argentine in terms of production and marketing, its ownership has transitioned through major global mergers. Since 2006, Quilmes has been a part of Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev), the world's largest brewing conglomerate. The beer is primarily brewed in Argentina to serve both the domestic and regional South American markets.
