Description
In 1908 Ernesto Günther and a group of investors founded in the city of Cusco, a branch of the Cervecería Alemana Günther & Tidow. In 1939 Cervecera Alemana Günther & Tido changed its name to Compañía Cervecera del Sur del Perú (Cervesur) and increased its production. In 2000 the company with its plants in Arequipa and Cusco, and with the popular brand Cusqueña, becomes part of the Backus Group (Backus y Johnston), thereby consolidating itself to the point of turning it into a company capable of competing in a globalized environment. Finally, in 2015, the Backus Group becomes part of AB InBev.

It is the typical beer for normal people. I mean that it is a standard beer, grainy, watery, almost no hop, probably you have corn, so-so, trying it before 2018, in Comas, Collique, another marketing and boring lager.

It is a typical lager, industrial, without interest, ok when the weather is hot with a good Peruvian ceviche, tasting it at some opportunities in Peru and for my wedding in 2008.

A classical and boring lager, in the north of Lima, it is really hard to find another beer than this one and Cristal, 27.12.17, at Collique, Comas. Drinking it at some opportunities in Peru because you don't have another option, not a grand cru, definitely.
