In 1889, the two founders incorporated "The Backus and Johnston's Brewery Company Ltd" in London, and they transferred all their Peruvian brewery related assets to this new corporation in order to raise investment capital in the joint stock of London to continue their business growth.

The founders continued as managing directors of the company until 1898 when Johnston left Peru; Backus died in 1899.

[3] Backus and Johnston and Grupo Empresarial Bavaria own most of the popular beer brands in Peru, including: San Juan, a 5% abv pale lager.

This brewery was founded on 2 September 1971 in Pucallpa in the Ucayali Region and named after San Juan Bautista.

In recent years Cusqueña has also been sold in red lager, trigo (wheat), and quinoa variants.

[14] Backus and Johnston also has a license to import Birra Peroni Nastro Azzurro in Peru.
