ALE or LAGER

[Trox]

Just started home brewing (third batch this weekend) but so far only ales; mainly because I don't have the needed equipment to lager. Then again I've always preferred ales over lagers so even if I did have the equipment I would probably do a lot more ales anyways.

Interesting. Living here in Guate for many years and never even heard of it. Will have to do some reasearch.

I think it is all exported to Aldi Süd stores.

On the bottle it says "Brewed & bottled under the authority of Cerveceria Monterrey,S.A. by Cerveceria Centro Americana,S.A.Guetemala City,Guatemala". Here's apic of the bottle from my collection;

(Sorry for the thread drift everyone...but should be brief).

It appears that this is brewed here in Guate, but 100% exported. Never seen it here in Guate. Interesting.

Turns out there are a number of beers brewed here in Guate for export only. Never seen any of them on the shelf here. See Guate Brewing thread for more details.

To bad. It tastes like I think a cervesa should. That is to say,little or no skunking. I get it at Aldi's grocery stores up here. I hate to think what it'd cost to ship it back your way?...

Shipping to Guate is not bad, there are a number of freight forwarders that specialize in that. Shipping inside the USA is crazy expensive by comparison.

Maybe we can make contact with someone at the brewery who can slip out a few bottles for us.

That would be easier...certainly fresher than even I get up here. Let me know.

Ale. And nothing but. I drank lager until I was fifty-something, not knowing any better. Once I was introduced to the world of ales, and subsequently to homebrewing, I've never looked back.

Ale. I'm lazy, impatient, and prefer ale anyway.

Ale is easier. Thus the domination.

Ale by far, but I did brew my first two lagers (pils and dunkel) this year. I don't like having to dedicate the ferm fridge to lager temps for so long.
