Super Bock is a Portuguese brand of strong pale lager from the Unicer brewery which produces a range of beers under the same name. Established in 1927, Unicer is based in Leça do Balio, just outside the city of Porto, Portugal. Its Super Bock brand is the most popular beer in Portugal (42% market share/Sept. 1998), especially in the north of the country, and competes well against Sagres in the rest of Portugal. It is the only beer to have won 15 consecutive gold medals in the "Monde Selection de la Qualite". It is sold in 90% of restaurants and markets in Portugal, and in 21 countries including Angola, Bermuda, Canada, Mozambique, Spain and the UK.
