About Unión de Cervecerías Peruanas Backus y Johnston

Backus and Johnston is the largest brewery in Peru, part of Bavaria Brewery, which itself is part of the SABMiller group. Its main brewery is located in the Ate District of Lima. Backus, as owner of almost all brands of beer available in Peru, enjoys a de facto monopoly over Peruvian beer consumption, although recently a lot of micro-breweries have sprung up and Anheuser-Busch InBev is trying to challenge the monopoly with their Brahma brand.
