About Sidra Real
Sidra Real is one of the cider brands CCU calls the market leaders in Argentina. The company entered the category in December 2010, when its Argentine brewing subsidiary took control of Sáenz Briones y Cía and Sidra La Victoria; the same transaction brought the La Victoria and 1888 ciders and the El Abuelo spirits brand. The two cider companies were later merged into the brewer.
