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.

On tap at Le Carolus, Paris. Pale golden coloured, medium sized white head, slight lactic nose. Weak malty, light cardboard and some corn with short sweetish finish. Waiter was trying to convince me that it’s Pilsen Callao, although on bill it was Pilsner Urquell, and on tap logo of Pilsen Callao....so who knows?? it was really bad, so I would even agree with him.

Bottle. Pours yellow gold with a small white head that dissipates quickly with no lacing. Aroma of grain and corn syrup, less sweet than most. Flavor is grain, grass, slight note of corn syrup. Only a bit sweet and quite refreshing actually. Finish is slightly sweet, no real bitterness.

And one I forgot from the chronicles of the Central American Lager fest this weekend. Thanks to Roswell the Dog for bringing this back and sharing. Pours a clear golden straw color with a smallish white head that dissipates quickly. Smells malty sweet and lightly grainy with faint floral hops The flavor is a bit sweet and grainy with hints of honey. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet grainy mouthfeel. Light lager, nothing exciting, well made, If I ever find myself in Peru I’d drink some unless I find something better.
