About Escudo
Escudo is the second of the two mainstream beers CCU owns outright in Chile and names as its best-selling parent brands. Mainstream beer made up 49% of the company's Chilean beer volume in 2025, down from 53% two years earlier, as Chilean drinkers moved steadily into premium brands that now account for almost half the market.
