AmBev Dominicana launched a new beer on the Dominican market last night. Brahma is the first beverage launched by the private corporation, whose CEO, Manuel Garcia Arevalo, said that the total investment in the project in the DR is US$100 million. Garcia stated that one of the largest breweries in the world has been built in Hato Nuevo in a record time of 11 months. The brewery has an installed capacity of one million hectoliters of beer and is providing 400 direct jobs for technically qualified employees, in addition to the 1,800 jobs already existing in the traditional operations of soft drinks such as Pepsi, Mirinda and Red Rock. Garcia informed that Brahma is one of the ten best-selling beers in the world and that its introduction here diversifies the Dominican market.
