Nothing against those beers, but POKER is really nothing to write home about unless you are me and are covering beers around the world. So to summarize, I would only buy Cerveza POKER if it was the only beer in the cooler, and it was a really, really hot day, and the water looked dirty.

Bavaria Brewery (Spanish: Cervecería Bavaria), formally known as Bavaria S.A., is a Colombianbrewery company founded on April 4, 1889 by Leo S. Kopp, a German immigrant. In 2005, Bavaria Brewery became a subsidiary of SABMiller.^[1] Before the merger, Bavaria was the second-largest brewery in South America.

Since 10 October 2016 when Anheuser-Busch InBev acquired the entire SABMiller company, the latter - including its subsidiaries such as Bavaria - has been a business division of Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV. SABMiller ceased to exist as a corporation.^[2] SABMiller also ceased trading on global stock markets.^[3][4]

History[edit]

In 1876, Leo Siegfried and Emil Kopp arrived in Santander seeking business opportunities. In 1879, together with the brothers Santiago and Carlos Arturo Castello, they formed in Bogota the company Kopp y Castello, destined to trade and import goods.

On April 4, 1889, the acquisition of a lot for the construction of a brewery was registered in Bogota. In 1890, the society Kopp and Castello was dissolved and was created the company Bavaria Kopp's Deutsche Bierbrauerei, which on 22 April of the following year recorded as factory image the German imperial eagle, and opened its headquarters in San Diego, downtown Bogotá, on 28 May.

In December 1911, during the centenary of Independence, they used the figure of Policarpa Salavarrieta in their La Pola brand.

Sustainability[edit]

Bavaria Entrepreneurs[edit]

Bavaria created the Bavarian Entrepreneurs program to give tools to women shopkeepers to strengthen the main source of income for their home, their shop. It also provides financial and educational benefits to improve their quality of life and that of their families. These shopkeepers have become leaders and agents of change within their localities. The programme has benefited more than 11,300 women from about 50 municipalities in 20 departments.

Sowing Bavaria[edit]

For more than 10 years, Bavaria, through the Bavaria Foundation, has invested more than $2 million in research to promote malt barley production in Colombia. Through this program, Bavaria works with farmers to continue to promote beer barley crops and the development of the Colombian countryside.

Bavarian Water Funds[edit]

Bavaria works with 4 water funds in Colombia to develop strategies to identify the main water risks faced by each region and establish action plans to mitigate them.

MiPáramo[edit]

Bavaria, through MiPáramo, protects the Forest “Alto Andino” in order to guarantee the quantity and quality of water coming from the Santurbán moor, through conservation with peasant families and isolation of the forest with fences. Through conservation, restoration and sustainable agricultural practices, more than 3,700 hectares have been protected in this area of the country. This project has benefited 1,066 peasant families in the region, planted more than 179,000 trees and worked with major national and international partners to positively impact this ecosystem.

Responsible consumption[edit]

Bavaria is committed to promoting responsible consumption of alcohol in adults, and the prevention of underage alcohol consumption. To do this, the company works in partnership with local government entities, district schools, and value chain actors (such as shopkeepers) to prevent underage alcohol consumption. Bavaria also conducts annual communication campaigns to promote the responsible consumption of alcohol.

Global Beer Responsible Day[edit]

More than 3,000 employees took to the streets, carrying tips and smart consumer messages to consumers and shopkeepers who delivered them, thus raising awareness among more than 140,000 people.
