About This Brand
Andes beer traces its origins to 1921 in Mendoza, one of Argentina's most important wine and beer producing regions. The brewery was established to serve the growing population of western Argentina, and the brand quickly became associated with the rugged, mountainous landscape of the Cuyo region. Over the decades, Andes grew from a regional brewery into a nationally recognized beer brand, though it has maintained its strongest following in the western provinces of Mendoza, San Juan, and San Luis. The brand became part of Cerveceria y Malteria Quilmes, Argentina's largest brewing company, which itself was later acquired by AB InBev. Despite being part of a global conglomerate, Andes has preserved its distinct regional identity and connection to Mendoza's culture. The brand's marketing consistently emphasizes the mountain heritage and the outdoor lifestyle associated with the Andes region, resonating with consumers who value local authenticity. Andes offers several beer varieties including its classic lager, which remains the most popular product. The beer is brewed using quality ingredients and traditional brewing techniques adapted to modern production standards. Andes continues to be a symbol of Mendoza pride, representing the region's independent spirit and natural beauty in Argentina's competitive beer market.
