Earthquake causes temporary domestic beer shortage

Beverage giant CCU is using their beer brand Schneider to cover the lack of beer production in Chile after their biggest brewery in Quilicura, north of Santiago, suffered damage from the February 27 earthquake. Schneider is one of the brands that the company produces in Argentina, along with Budweiser, Heineken, Palermo, and Bieckert, among others.
