History
Cervezas Alcázar de Jaén was born on February 28, 1928 in the city of Jaén as S.A. El Alcázar . The name alludes to the castle of Santa Catalina, also known as the Alcázar new one, a symbol of identity of Jaén, adopting its silhouette as a logo. In 1949 the first malting plant of the brand was built.
