Société des Brasseries du Maroc is part of the Castel Group and oversees the production and distribution of beer. Popular beers include "Spéciale Flag" (pilsner) and "Stork" (light lager). The Moroccan premium beer is "Casablanca" (also a lager), which costs more than the other two. "Casablanca" is also exported and, for instance, served in the Morocco pavilion at Epcot in Walt Disney World, Orlando, FL.

The first writers assigned to the script were twins Julius and Philip Epstein who, against the wishes of Warner Brothers, left at Frank Capra's request early
