Algeria

   
     

The Brasseries et Glacières d'Indochine (BGI) were founded by the Denis Frères house in Bordeaux, to take over from the Établissements Victor Larue. In 1919, it created the Brasseries du Maroc and the Brasseries et glacières d'Algerie. In 1948 the Brasseries du Cameroun and in 1986 the Société des Brasseries du Mali (BRAMALI).

The BGI took the name of Brasseries et Glacières Internationales in 1975. Through its subsidiary Union de brasseries, it took control of the Pelforth breweries in 1980. In 1986, the Union des brasseries was merged with the French subsidiary. Heineken to form the French brasserie (FRABRA). FRABRA was then incorporated into Heineken in 1991. That same year, the BGI group was acquired by the Castel Group.

   

"33" Export
The 33 Export was launched in Indochina by the Cho Lon1 Brewery. Intended for export, its name comes from its packaging, originally a 33cl bottle. The Cholon brewery, of its original name "Brasseries et Glacières d'Indochine (B.G.I.)", was founded at the end of the 19th century by Victor Larue and by Hommel in the Cholon district of Saigon. Larue is a demobilized French army sergeant, and Hommel a small local brewer. After their death, the 4 brothers of the house Denis frères, installed in Saigon since 1862, bought the BGI. At its peak, the brewery employs 4,000 people. The production of the 33 Export ceased in 1975, it was replaced by the 333. La 33 Export was first brewed in France by the Brasserie de Drancy in 1960.
