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 not my favourite style, but it is a kind of baltica porter, sweet, smocked, malty, some hop. I prefer la de trigo, 08.03.17, drinking at some opportunities in Peru, prefering a dry stout or a Munich dunkel German style beer or an English porter, in my point of view.

Simply disgusting, any aroma, metalic, a kind of draft with few malt and hop, unpleasant and too expansive for what it is, 13.01.18, drinking it at Collique, Comas, purchased at one Metro, Comas
