<p class="p1">This article analyzes the emergence and consolidation of the Florida Ice and Farm (FIFCO) brewing company, one of the most advanced and modern in the Costa Rican context. Founded in 1908, the company borders on a monopoly and is owned by the hegemonic factions of the local elite. Precisely, the objective of the research was to understand its crucial role as a source of wealth, alliances, and power of oligarchic families. Likewise, its peculiar relationships with the state apparatus, its tangle of subsidiaries, among other points, were studied. Methodologically, it is based on a business history linked to the elites, which not only addresses their corporate history, but also highlights their links with power. Finally, sources such as archival documents, newspapers and FIFCO reports were used.</p>
