Cerveza Aguila de la Cerverceria Bavaria de Colombia

Hey Peeps!!!! If you remember from my post La Cerveza Polar de la Cervercería Polar and Florida Brewery October 4, 2019, I stopped into the Arepas Grill into the Arepas Grill Restaurant (21-19 Broadway, Astoria, NY (718) 355-9686 to try that particular beer. Well, I've never been known to stop at just one beer, especially if there was a second beer on the menu that I hadn't tried. On the menu, they had la Cerveza Águila which hails from Barranquilla, Colombia.

Cerveza Águila is one of Colombia's most popular beers and can trace its roots back to 1913. La Cervecería de Barranquilla came into being in 1913 and initially brewed four separate beers: Escudo, Gallo Giro, San Nicolás, and Cerveza Águila. Twenty years later it was decided that the brewery would only brew Cerveza Águila. 1967 saw the merger of La Cervecería de Barranquilla with la Cervecería Bavaria, making it the largest brewery in the country of Colombia. In 2005, Cervecería Bavaria would be purchased by SABMiller and in turn would be purchased by Anheuser-Busch InBev in 2016. Throughout the years, Cerveza Águila has been a mainstay for the brewery since then spawning a Light version in 2002 and a Non-Alcoholic "Zero" version in 2014. On to the Cerveza Aguila.

The website for Cerveza Águila describes the beer as follows:

Balance de amargo, dulce, alcohol y originalidad. Una cerveza para refrescar, animar y celebrar. 

Balance of bitter, sweet, alcohol and originality. A beer to refresh, cheer and celebrate.

I did a video review of Cerveza Águila on my IG-TV channel entitled SiscoVanilla Had a Cerveza Aguila at Arepas Grill on 09-29-2019 I found that I really liked this beer. Clocking in at 4.0 ABV (IBU not listed) Cerveza Águila is a Lager that has surprising body for such a low abv. I found it to be malty, slightly sweet and not bitter in the least. It was a very delicious beer. Definitely have yourselves a couple of them on me.

I'll be going down the rabbit hole in a couple of future posts, concerning good ole Malt Liquor. Keep tuned for those posts.

Until Then Happy Drinking,
SiscoVanilla
