El Salvador

Central America & Caribbean

El Salvador has brewed commercially since 1906, and drinks its beer with the michelada treatment of lime and salt that runs from Mexico down through the isthmus.

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

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 El Salvador 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.
