The company Victoria, for manufacture of lager beer; it was founded by Luis Franquelo Carrasco on September 8, 1928, day of the Virgin of the Victory, in the district of the perchel of the city of Malaga. Its first factory had a daily production capacity of 15,000 liters distributed by Andalusia and Morocco, thanks to its 85 workers. In 1937 the advertising poster with "el gordo de la cerveza" became famous, a typical German tourist who wipes the sweat from his forehead while holding a panama hat and smiles sitting at a table with a large glass of beer with the slogan "Cerveza Victoria, Malagueña y exquisita", an image that became an icon of the city.

In the early 90's, the company was acquired by the Cruzcampo Group and in 1999, this Group was absorbed by Heineken International. However, in 2001 it was forced to get rid of some brands and in 2001 it was sold to the Damm Group.
