Surinaamse Brouwerij

Surinaamse Brouwerij (English: "Surinamese Brewery") is the primary beer producer in Suriname.

[1][2] The brewery was founded in 1954 in the Beekhuizen neighborhood of Paramaribo by two brothers, Pieter ("Piet") and Arthur ("Thuur") Dumoleyn, post-war immigrant brewers from the Dutch province of Zeeland, with support from the Amsterdam-based Amstel Brewery (acquired in 1968 by Heineken).

The basis of Parbo Beer includes pale malt that is partially complemented by specially grown rice, water and hops.

Parbo Beer is exported to French Guiana, Guyana, Aruba and the Netherlands.

Present day slogans are in Sranantongo: Tru Sranan Prisiri (Real Surinamese Pleasure) and Parbo Biri: dat n'a biri (Parbo Beer: that's the beer).
