## About <!--about-->
Desperados is a beer flavoured with agave spirit, created in France in 1995 by the Fischer brewery and now sold in more than fifty countries.[^wiki] Within the Heineken group the name is held by Heineken Brouwerijen B.V. of Amsterdam, which Polish packs print as "HBBV trading under the name of Desperados".[^zywiec][^gleif-hbbv] In Poland the beer is brewed under licence by Grupa Żywiec, which lists Desperados Original in 400 ml bottles and 500 ml cans.[^zywiec] The range was reformulated away from its original tequila flavouring to an agave spirit.[^wiki]
