History
The idea of the Festival came about in 1995, when the CervecerÃa Nacional Dominicana chose to make an event to reward the loyalty of the Dominican people towards Cerveza Presidente.
In 2007, the Dominican National Brewery needed to cancel the festival due to the new tax for beer sells imputed by the Dominican Government.- In 2010 The Festival came back in August better than ever.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“History takes time.... History makes memory.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“The principle office of history I take to be this: to prevent virtuous actions from being forgotten, and that evil words and deeds should fear an infamous reputation with posterity.”
—Tacitus (c. 55–117)
“I am ashamed to see what a shallow village tale our so-called History is. How many times must we say Rome, and Paris, and Constantinople! What does Rome know of rat and lizard? What are Olympiads and Consulates to these neighboring systems of being? Nay, what food or experience or succor have they for the Esquimaux seal-hunter, or the Kanaka in his canoe, for the fisherman, the stevedore, the porter?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
