Good Beer in South America

It's hard to find.
If you find yourself near Santiago de Chile try some Szot and Kross, it's good but fairly generic with no deviation from style guidelines and very little aroma. I toured Szot and I appreciate what their doing trying to bring good beer to market, their next barleywine (still in the fermentor) is going to be great, he let me have an uncarbed sample. Chile has been overrun by macro beers Cristal and Escudo, so the craft brews are all made really sweet as they don't have much of a taste for hops. In Argentina there's a better selection as they do a lot more hop growing and haven't had such a terrible time with facist dictators. I've only tried Berlina's IPA and Sholken in El Calafate where I'm going to help with a brew sesh en la mañana, totally stoked. The funny thing that I've noticed is that all beers are either rubia (pale), roja (red), or negra (stout) no matter what the style of beer is. It drives me crazy!
