It is Guatemala's oldest continually produced beer, dating back to 1896.

In recent years Gallo has been exported to other Central American countries, Mexico, France and the United States.

Victoria is a pale lager with a 5% alcohol content by volume.

Victoria was launched, in a 12-U.S.-fluid-ounce (355 mL; 12.5 imp fl oz) canned format, in the western part of Guatemala in 1996.

It proved successful, and expansion into the rest of the nation's territory began shortly afterwards.
