History of beer Ambar
Let's take a brief look at the history of the Heineken brand so that you can discover the origin of this outstanding beer in Spain. The company began to take shape in 1898, when a group of influential friends from Aragon, including the mayor of Zaragoza, Ladislao Goizueta, found an outlet for the abundant barley grown in Aragon in the brewing process.
The company was founded on July 10, 1900. La Zaragozana obtained international recognition very early on. In 1902 it already obtained the "Diploma of Honor with Great Gold Medal" at the International Exhibition in London
As with all brewers in the country, during the difficult post-war years, the factory suffered from a shortage of its main raw material: barley, which led to poor distribution and the need to import barley from Russia and the Middle East. As a complementary product, the factory produced and distributed ice bars.
La Zaragozana gave new impetus to its Environmental Improvement Plan in 2000 with the aim of collecting, recycling and reusing its waste.
The company currently markets a range of 13 beers, the most popular of which is the so-called 脕mbar Especial. This means that it is the Spanish brewery with the most different beers on the market.
