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.

Bottle that we found at some street market in Genoa, along with the Ecuadorian Club (yaay) Poured a quite pale golden/yellow body with a medium sized thick white head that took its time to go away. Oily beans in the nose, some grain too. Light taste, cardboard and a very light hop background. Blah. Another day another country.

11/10 0.33 l bottle from a street market in Genova. It poured pale yellow body with medium sized head. Malty aroma of some cheap boring pale lager... Flavor is slightly eggy, dusty, predominately malty, but not something that couldn’t be drinked. Some honey and flowery finish. A boring beer, but I won’t complain too much over my first Peruan rate.

Bottle 31 cl. Courtesy of Myrup. Pours a hazy pale yellow with a small off-white head. Weird, tart herbal aroma. Light body, a little low in carbonation, tart citrus and herbal notes. Tart finish without being infected. A very strange experience. 130809

Bottled. A hazy light golden beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet and very spicy. The flavor is slightly acidic with notes of spices and citrus, leading to a dry spicy finish. Thanks Myrup for sharing.
