    I had a couple of Brahmas (Brasilian beer) today and they are not at all great. They are missing that "kick" and taste a bit sour at the end.

    This brings up my point, I am quite loyal to Cusqueña. In my opinion the best Peruvian beer out there. What about you guys?

    I havent had a Cristal in a while but I did when Garcia came. I was also a fan of Cusquena, but I'm gonna have to say Cristal has more of a kick to it. Good stuff, the dark Cristal even more. So brahma sucks huh, they better stick to bundas ;)

    Pilsen has improved A LOT. My vote goes to them right now.

    Cuzquena had its golden years. It was the best for a good while during the late 90s and early 2000's. No one beat them, but I've heard their quality has declined a lot lately.

    Cristal is the safe bet as its been around for a while and it's the most famous one.

    Arequipena? I never tried that beer. Not sure if it still exists. Maybe in the local areas around Arequipa and such.

    i have to agree with you, compadre. pilsen is my favorite right now and i drink all of them periodically, thanks to my beloved liquor store owners around the way.
    and i'm a fan of the the dark cuzquena, which me and garcia had a few weeks back....

    Pilsen Negra was absolutely amazing. Never had such a great dark beer. Had it once and never again :( Still in the hunt. Been looking for it ever since.

    Yeah, It was great. It was such a long ass time ago that I don't know if they keep making it. It was yummy indeed.

    In Peru also? It was just called Pilsen Negra.

    Good to see that I didn't dream this Pilsen Negra thing. It was too good to be true at the time! I thought I was dreaming :D
