About Prestige
Prestige was launched in 1976 and was for more than forty years the first and only beer brewed in Haiti. It started at 4.2 per cent alcohol and was reformulated to its present 5.6 per cent in 1999. BRANA describes it as the emblematic beer of the country, built on balance and consistency, and it has taken gold at the World Beer Cup in both 2000 and 2012 as well as at Monde Selection.
