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 a regular weissbier, a bit sweet, malt, I don't really have the impression that they use wheat, creamy, tasting it during my differents trips in Peru.

330ml bottle from a South American stall in the Mercato market, Florence. Drunk out the bottle walking around Bobboli Gardens. Quite complex for a schwarz.. especially one from Peru. Some tobacco and smoke on the finish. Surprisingly interesting.
