About
The name Cervecería Centro Americana, S.A. Is part of the Guatemalan imagination since its founding in 1886, when brothers Mariano and Rafael Castillo Cordova materialized their dream.

Throughout its trajectory, the company has experienced two world wars and a great economic depression. Locally, a plague of influenza, two devastating earthquakes, an internal armed conflict of thirty-six years and an effervescent political life. All these vicissitudes have been confronted with hard work and confidence in Guatemala, which makes evident the will to believe, to bet on modernity and its constant renewal.

In addition, there has always been the continuous search for more efficient technology and a constant training of operators, with the faith of a better future for all. That is why day by day we live our motto: we believe, trust and invest in Guatemala.

24 oz. can. Pours a clear, bubbly, straw color, with a big, foamy, white head. The nose is corn, wet grass, rubber bands, and coriander. Sweet and malty, with a mild, acrid bitterness. Light, biting, and clingy. Not great.

20/3/2024. Bottle courtesy of Reuben, cheers! Guatemala rating #5. Pours clear pale gold with a small frothy just off-white head. Aroma is grainy, floral, sweet corn, malt, stewed veggie edge. Quite sweet with low bitterness and a slight metallic and sour twang. Light body, watery, fizzy. Not so good.

A fairly bland, inoffensive Pilsner.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Clear pale golden colour, bubbly white foam head and aroma of grains, yeasty. Taste is sweet, corn grain, tangy, yeasty, with some papery bitterness. Light bodied, high carbonation, dry grainy bitter finish. Not the best.
