History of beer La Virgen
We are going to make a brief review of the history of the brand La Virgen so that you can discover the origin of this beer which is so little known in Spain. The story begins in 2009 in San Francisco when the creators of the brand had the idea. One year later they left San Francisco behind to start the business in Madrid. In 2011 they founded Cervezas La Virgen and opened the first Brewpub in La Virgen . That same year they released their first beer.
The brand was growing and had more and more demand so in 2015 they acquired a larger brewery where they could produce millions of liters of beer.
In 2017, they began to market La Virgen in supermarkets and even abroad.
