Angkor Brewery is situated in Cambodia’s main port city of Sihannoukville, about 230 km west of the capital Phnom Penh.
The brewery was commissioned by the Cambodian Government in the early 1960s and built by a French contractor with technical assistance from France. Lager beer was produced for a few years, marketed under the brand names “Angkor Beer” and “Bayon Beer”. However, operation was disrupted when civil war broke out in the early 1970s.
Cambrew Ltd assumed control of the brewery in 1991 and, after nine months of refurbishment, Angkor Brewery recommenced production in 1992.
