From the record

Summary

Historical Blanco-Herrera / Nueva Fábrica de Hielo lineage before nationalization. By 1997 the Cuban state brewing structure identifies Empresa Cervecería Pedro Marrero (Tropical) within ACER; a 2007 Cuban cultural source still refers to the old industry/site under the Pedro Marrero name. Beer-production continuity after 1997 is not established.
