It was founded in 1929 by the American entrepreneur Charles H. Wanzer.[1] It was the first brewery in the Dominican Republic and the largest in the Antilles and Central America with sales of 3.8 million hectoliters.[2] It first released its major brand Presidente in 1935, and has since expanded to other brands such as Bohemia Especial, Presidente Light and Ambar.[1] The first two are pilsener beers that fall in the category of lager beers, and the latter is the company's first incursion into dark beer.
