Paceña

Paceña is a Bolivian beer produced in La Paz, hence its name that means "the one of La Paz". The beer is produced by CBN , an AB InBev company that dates back to 1877 and that controls 80% percent of the Bolivian beer market. Paceña is made at about 3,600 meters above sea level with purified water from the Andes. The background dates back to 1877, when the brewery, owned by Alejandro Wolf, emerged under the name of Wolf & Cía., a factory that would later take the name of Cervecería Americana and then Cervecería Nacional. On 20 October 1886, the Cervecería Nacional and the Cervecería Americana merged in the city of La Paz and together formed what is now the Cervecería Boliviana Nacional, being the owners Federico Groenewold, Luis Ernst, Hugo Preuss, and Eugenio Stohmann. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Bolivian National Brewery was installed very close to the train station, a place that coincided with the entrance portal to the city of La Paz on Montes Avenue.
