History
The brewery was founded in 1933 in Beirut by the Jabre, Comaty and Angelopoulu families, and was initially called Brasserie Franco-Libano-Syrienne [3]. The Jabre family was the main shareholder, consisting of family members Michel, Najib and Assaad Jabre [2]
In 1960, the brewery established a partnership with Amstel Beer.[citation needed]
In 1968, the Heineken group acquired Amstel.[citation needed]
In 1990, the brewery survived the Lebanese war; under the Jabre family ownership, the brewery and facilities were restored and modernized.[citation needed]
In 2003, majority ownership passed to Heineken.[citation needed]
In 2021, Philippe Jabre became the majority owner of Almaza Brewery.[4] Heineken remained a minority shareholder. [5]
