What does BANKS DIH Own?
Banks Brewery was created in 1955 in Georgetown, Guyana, by Peter D’Aguiar, owner of his family business D’Aguiar Bros. (D.I.H.), which produced rum and soft drinks, among other things. In 1961, he also started a Banks Brewery in Barbados, but the two companies stayed separate for years. D’Aguiar Bros merged with the Guyanan Banks in 1966, and in 2005 the two dueling Banks breweries finally merged to help promote the brand worldwide. By 2008, Banks had begun shipping the beer to the United States.
