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.

At a tasting, thanks DSG, clear yellow colour, light skunky aroma with a touch of spice, light honey aroma with some graininess. Again, it’s drinkable, but why?

Bottle. Pale yellow color with whitish small foamy head, doughy aroma, average carbonation, slightly sour taste, abrupt finish. Nothing special but decent for a pale lager.

33cl bottle at Tacoa Cerveceria, El Sauzal. Pours golden with a white head. Lightly malty aroma with caramel and hints of cooked vegetables and spices. Quite sweet with malt and caramel flavour and a very light bitterness. Another pale lager. More malty than usual, but still very uninteresting. Drinkable, but slightly unpleasant. (2013-01-02)
