In 1860 a young Juan Fouilloux sailed across the Atlantic from France to St Louis, Missouri, where he would master his skills as a brewer. After the Civil War he traveled south to Mexico. A chance meeting with Jose M. Otahegui in San Luis Potosi allowed for the right mix of skills and ingredients to brew a cerveza of superior quality. They founded the Cerveceria de San Luis in 1882, a grand brewery and proud symbol of the advancements of the time.

We are as proud of our history as we are to brew cerveza. The Cerveceria de San Luis is focused on sharing our love of Mexican beer culture through each and every Monopolio.
