Aguila is a Colombian lager brewed since 1913 and one of the most widely sold beers in Colombia, closely tied to the Caribbean coast and to national football sponsorship. AB InBev acquired it with SABMiller in 2016, which had itself bought the parent Bavaria group in 2005.
Sentences about Aguila from AB InBev's latest annual filing[1], copied word for word.
Aguila is a classic Colombian lager beer with a balanced and refreshing flavor that was first brewed in 1913.
A plain count of the times the name appears in the text of each annual report, not counting the start of a sentence. A brand that an owner writes about more is usually one it treats as central. The brand is named more often than it was three years earlier.
The USPTO record for the Aguila mark lists BAVARIA & CIA S.C.A. as the owner of record (serial number 74171315). A trademark is often held by a group company rather than the listed parent, so the registrant's name can differ from the owner named above.[3]
