FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

November 9, 2006

Quilmes Industrial (Quinsa) Société Anonyme (“Quinsa”) (NYSE: LQU) announced today that it received notice that the board of directors of Companhia de Bebidas das Américas – AmBev (“AmBev”) has approved a plan to make a voluntary tender offer to purchase any and all Class A shares and Class B shares (including Class B shares held as American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”)) of Quinsa that are not owned by AmBev or its subsidiaries. AmBev indicated that, subject to the approval by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the “CSSF”) in Luxembourg, the offer will be made by Beverage Associates Holding Ltd. (“BAH”), a Bahamian corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of AmBev, and that BAH will offer US$3.35 per Class A share, US$33.53 per Class B share (US$67.07 per ADS) upon the terms and subject to the conditions to be included in an offer to purchase, as approved by the CSSF.

Quinsa announced that its board of directors would consider the terms of the plan to make an offer communicated to it by AmBev (the “Offer”) and, on or before November 13, 2006, Quinsa and its directors will advise you:

	1.	Whether the Company (a) recommends acceptance or rejection of the Offer (if, and when, made); or (b) expresses no opinion and remains neutral toward the Offer (if and when, made); and

	2.	The reasons for the position taken by the Company with respect to the Offer (if, and when, made).

The Company requests that you defer making any decision with respect to the Offer until the Company advises you of its position with respect to the Offer.
