history
Friedrich Herold (* 1871; † 1929) came from a family that knew how to make spirits. He was a son of the Württemberg cooper Jacob Wilhelm Herold (* 1837; † 1906), who had set up a brewery and a beer bar in Heilbronn's old town, and a brother of the wine specialist Wilhelm Herold (* 1874; † 1945).
Friedrich Herold learned the brewing trade and took over his father's brewery in the 1890s when he retired. In 1904 he emigrated to Bolivia . There he first worked at the Comania Nacional de Cervezas in La Paz . He then bought a small brewery in Peru on Lake Titicaca from Tomas Palao , which he sold to his competitor Gunther a little later, only to return to Germany in 1912. There he married a merchant's daughter, Elise Emilie Seilacher, in Gaildorf , whose sister Lydia had married his older brother Gustav Adolf Herold (* 1868) in 1896.
Friedrich Herold went back to South America a little later, probably in 1913, to found a new brewery in Cerro de Pasco in the Central Andes, the Cervecería Herold . Soon afterwards he took his youngest brother Emil (* 1880), a trained baker who had lived in South America since 1909, into the business and built another brewery near Huancayo .
After Friedrich Herold's death in 1929, his eldest son Heinrich continued the company. Heinrich Herold completed his training in Schwäbisch Hall with Carl Lindner. In 1956 he sold the brewery, which was then closed.
The Cervecería Herold brewed Pilsner- style beer , and there were also the Extracto de Malta, Salvator and Andina beer brands.
