Skol

Skol

Skol is an international beer brand. Allied Breweries of the UK, Labatt of Canada, Pripps-Bryggerierna of Sweden and Unibra of Belgium formed a new company called Skol International in 1964. Its aim was the creation of a world-wide beer brand, Skol lager, which could be licensed, manufactured and marketed across the world. Since then participation in the company has changed.

Skol is the most popular beer in Brazil, originally produced by Brahma in 1980, which in turn became Ambev and then InBev.

The name is related to the Scandinavian toast "skål". For a period, the Hagar the Horrible cartoon character was used for promotion. [ [http://ilmot.co.uk/SkolLager.html Beermat] ] [ [http://www.tvwhirl.co.uk/advertsqz.html TVWhirl] ]
