Revision as of 14:33, 6 September 2021
Beer in Lebanon is locally manufactured primarily by the Almaza Brewery, which is owned by Heineken. There is a small craft beer scene. However, the present status of Lebanese beer production amid the country's depending economic crisis is unknown.
History
The pre-eminent producer of beer in Lebanon is the Almaza Brewery, founded in 1933 in Bauchrieh by the Jabre family as the Brasserie Franco-Libano-Syrienne.
In 1950, the name of the brewery changed to Brasserie et Malterie Almaza, and after the Lebanese Civil War in the 1990s the brewery took on its final name: Brasserie Almaza.
The Almaza Brewery was acquired by the Dutch beverage multinational Heineken in 2002, and in 2004 acquired its competitor Laziza, a specialist in non-alcoholic beers.[1]
In 2002, Almaza beer and Amstel, another Heineken brand, were estimated to account for 60% of Lebanon’s $40 million market.[1]

- Almaza Pilsener 4.2% alc.

Manscaped is a men's personal care company based in San Diego, California, US. It was founded in 2016 by Paul Tran and produces and distributes male grooming and hygiene products and tools under the Manscaped brand.[1]
History
Manscaped was established in 2016 by founder and CEO Paul Tran to provide male grooming products targeted at pubic hair removal.[2] From the start, the company took a very direct approach to male hygiene issues in its marketing, making use of the shock factor, pun-based humor and celebrity.[3][4] In late 2020, one ad campaign featured the NFL's Rob Gronkowski and US sportswear supermodel Camille Kostek.[3]
In October 2018, Manscaped was featured in the 10th series of ABC’s “Shark Tank”,[5] represented by Tran's business partner and co-founder Steve King, who sought $500,000 in funding for the company, and accepted a handsake offer for that amount from Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner in exchange for a 25 percent stake in the business.[6][7]
In late 2020, the company was reported to be exploring its options for further fundraising. At the time, it was backed by investment firms Kaktus Capital, Longley Capital, Rx3 Venture Partners and Scala Ventures.[8]
In July 2021, Manscaped was revealed to be in ongoing merger discussion with Los Angeles-based blank-check firm Bright Lights to create a combined entity worth up to $1.4 billion.[1] Led by Michael Mahan, the former CEO of Dick Clark Productions, Bright Lights listed for $230 million on the Nasdaq stock market in January 2021 on the promise of finding a merger target in the consumer products or media sectors.
