About
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.

305 ml bottle. A clear, much filtered, golden pour with a frothy off-white head, poor retention. Aroma is so mild you wouldn't even notice if served chilled (as it's expected.) When warmer, there are hints of syrup, iron, cardboard. Slightly sweet, otherwise flavorless and very watery. Bad.
