Mexico: Cerveceria Mexicana expanding to keep up with demand

Cerveceria Mexicana is set to expand its brewing facility in Mexico, in response to growing demand in the US and abroad, Drinks Business Review reported on January 27.

The Mexican brewery expects to complete the expansion by April 2014. The move is said to increase the brewery's production capacity by 35%.

A major chunk of the increased capacity will be used to produce Day of the Dead craft beer for Drinks Americas.

Drinks Americas Holdings CEO Timothy Owens said that Cerveceria Mexicana will meet customers demand through the strategic and calculated expansion of their facility.

"Cerveceria Mexicana is dedicated to upholding the craftsmanship of their premium authentic Mexican craft beers during and after this expansion," Owens added.

"We, at Drinks Americas, look forward to having the product available to meet market demand and to getting our leading beer brands into the hands and hearts of more adult consumers nationwide and beyond."

Besides the US, Cerveceria Mexicana also exports its beers in several countries including Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, England, Holland, Ireland, Luxembourg, New Zealand, and Spain.

Drinks Americas is the exclusive US broker for premium authentic Mexican beers currently present in over 32 states.
