'Monumento 100 anos de la Cerveza Pacifico'

A leaky copper beer tank commemorating the first century of Pacifico beer, a major beer brand here in Mexico. This homage to the Pacifico Beer Factory was unveiled on March 14, 2000, the hundredth anniversary of the day the brewery first began producing Pacifico beer. The Pacifico brewery was founded by three German immigrants, Germán Evers, Emilio Philippi and Jorge Claussen. The brewery was acquired by the Modelo group in 1954. The monument itself, which was designed by brewery workers, is a huge copper cooking vat capable of holding 24,000 liters (6336 gallons) of beer.
