Ecuador

Ecuadorian brewing dates to 1887 in Guayaquil, and the country still drinks chicha made from fermented maize and cassava alongside the industrial lager, particularly in the Amazon provinces.

Only towns whose coordinates could be sourced are drawn, so an unmarked town means a missing coordinate rather than a town without beer.

Oldest brewery with a sourced year: Cervecería Nacional, 1887.

These are facts about this record, not about the world. They are counted from the beers on file, and the atlas is only as deep as its sources: 74% of everything it holds is American or Dutch, because that is what the bulk import reached, not because that is where beer is. So the styles most often recorded in Ecuador are not necessarily the ones most often brewed there, and a country with few beers here has a thin record rather than a thin brewing scene.
