Quilmes beer in Argentina saw declining market share as consumption fell from 12 liters per capita annually in the 1960s to only 6 liters in the 1980s. To change this, Quilmes adopted a new strategy in 1981 of targeting younger people, increasing distribution, and using the slogan "El Sabor del Encuentro." This approach was highly successful, driving consumption up to over 36 liters per capita by 2006 and transforming beer from a seasonal drink to a regular part of Argentine culture consumed year-round. Quilmes was able to capitalize on changing social habits among youth and establish beer as a key part of socializing.
