About Gallo
Gallo is the beer of Guatemala, launched in 1896 and the brewery's leading product ever since. It is a five per cent lager of dark golden colour with a defined hop bitterness and a clear, stable head, and its brand furniture is national property: the Árbol Gallo, a Christmas tree the company has put up since 1985, marks the start of the holiday season in Guatemala. It won gold medals at Monde Selection in Brussels in 1967 and 1968 and entered the American Marketing Association's Marketing Hall of Fame in 2004.
