    Falk Erdmann's

    Managua, Nicaragua

    ERDMANN´S es una cerveza que está 100% hecha a mano, su fabricación emplea mucho tiempo, cuidado y amor, y es preparada según la tradición de monjes alemanes, lo que la convierte en una cerveza única y exclusiva. Sus cuatro ingredientes básicos son: malta de cebada o de trigo, lúpulo, levadura y agua. Otra característica es que la segunda fermentación sucede en la botella y a diferencia de las cervezas industriales, ésta, es una cerveza más fina y llena de vida, manifestándose en la presencia de sedimentos naturales que se aprecian al fondo de cada botella, además de su suave carbonatación natural. La intención es ofrecer al mercado nacional una cerveza artesanal de alta cálidad, libre de aditivos, extractos y preservantes, con recetas alemanas tradicionales cómo por ejemplo: Koelsch, Altbier ó Hefeweissbier.

    Compañía Cervecera de Nicaragua

    Managua, Nicaragua

    On March 18, 1926, a group of Nicaraguan investors founded the Compañía Cervecera de Nicaragua. The first beer produced by the brewery was Cerveza Xolotlan in 1929, followed by the Pilsener and Carta Blanca brands a few years later. In 1942, with the restriction on imports on raw materials, CCN introduced the Cerveza Victoria brand. In 1996, CCN merged with its competitor, the Industrial Cervecera, S.A. (ICSA), to form the largest brewery in Nicaragua. In 2003, CCN began exporting the Cerveza Toña brand to the U.S. market.
