Description
Our story originates from the dreams of a German immigrant and his passion for beer. Otto Bemberg, who arrived in our country in 1852, founded the Cervecería Argentina in the city of Quilmes in 1888. After two years, on October 31, 1890, the first chopp was served and from there the iconic beer began to be sold under the Quilmes brand, in honor of the old indigenous name of the town, where this dream materialized. These would be just the first steps of a project that, over time, would become one of the main companies in Argentina. During the years to come, the company grew exponentially, in 1910 it reached 100% beer production.
In 2002 we sealed the strategic association with AmBev and in 2006 we finalized the transfer of our majority shareholding package. We are currently part of AB-InBev, the world's leading brewing company, based in Leuven, Belgium, with a portfolio of more than 200 brands.

Mainly malt aroma, slightly herbal. Taste is malt and corn, with a cardboard alike aftertaste. Thirst-quenching at least.

Bottle from local Home Bargains shop, drank at home. Pours golden yellow with minimal transient off-white head. There’s grains, mushy rice and citrus in the aroma. In the mouth there is a brief burst of juicy sweetness before metallic bitterness comes through to dominate. Flavour has grains, sweet malts, lemon and some hoppy hints leading to a dry metallic finish. Definitely in the middle of macro territory – but I’ve had worse.

On Offer at a bottle shop nearby, so a good way to tick off a new country. Clear golden pour with a fluffy (but not very stable) white head. Aroma is grain, card board, a hint of citrus. Taste is malt, card board, faint lemon and some herbal notes for the finish. That aftertaste lingers around a bit too long. Fairly standard macro, tbh.

Drinking this beer, at the Argentinian on the Spanish way, Milonga's restaurant, at Sevilla. An industrial lager that it was for me drinkable, expecting something worst, malty, rather dry, mineral, bready, watery, extract of hop, it was ok with a good meat, 17.01.23

[340ml bottle from Home Bargains, Bracknell.] A straw coloured pour with a loose, retentive, white head; cereal grain aroma; sweetish grainy taste with a grassy bitterness; and a fairly crisp finish. Slightly better than the average macro lager.
