COUYOUMDJIAN, Juan Ricardo. Una bebida moderna: la cerveza en Chile en el siglo XIX. Historia (Santiago) [online]. 2004, vol.37, n.2, pp.311-336. ISSN 0717-7194.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0717-71942004000200002.

Beer drinking was introduced in Chile during the years of Independence; local production took off in the 1850s and by the end of the century it was consumed throughout the country. This paper uses trade statistics to determine the volume of imported beers and local production, using imports of hops as a proxy, and thus, estimate local consumption, while coastal trade figures provide a view of regional consumption patterns. Other sources provide information on local breweries, their modernization and the tendency towards industrial concentration, types and qualities, as well as social patterns of consumption.

Palabras clave : Beer; cultural history; food; economic history.
