Cruzcampo

Beer Description

Cruzcampo was founded in Seville in 1904 and became one of Spain’s defining regional lager brands. Heineken acquired Cruzcampo from Guinness/Diageo in 1999, bringing the Andalusian beer family into its Spanish brewing portfolio. The beer is known for pale golden colour, easy drinkability, gentle malt character, and a crisp finish suited to warm climates. Within the archive, Cruzcampo represents a major Spanish lager identity with deep local roots and long-running national visibility.
