About Polar Pilsen
Polar Pilsen is Empresas Polar's founding product and, on the company's own account, the preferred beer of Venezuelans. Its own brand page dates it to 1941, describing a golden-coloured, white-foamed pilsner with a subtle aroma developed to suit local taste; the company's separate corporate history timeline instead credits the 1943 product reformulation as the moment the beer became the country's favourite, a discrepancy between the two official pages that is noted rather than resolved here. It is exported and, since 2010, also brewed at a Polar-owned plant in Florida for the United States, Caribbean and other regional markets.
