Brasserie Nationale d'Haïti

Brasserie Nationale d'Haïti, S.A. also called BRANA, S.A., is the foremost brewery and bottler in Haiti.

The brewery was founded in 1973 by Michael Madsen, from one of the richest industrial families in Haiti that arrived from Denmark in the late 19th century.

Since its foundation, BRANA has been under license to manage the manufacture and distribution for PepsiCo International, covering such soft drink brand names as Pepsi, 7up, and Teem.

In 1976, it launched Prestige, an American-style lager, the first and to this day the only beer native to Haiti.

On December 14, 2011, Heineken publicly announced it was taking over BRANA by increasing its ownership from 22.5% to 95%[1][2]
