I let myself drink a local brew from my home country.
Yes it was and I am rather fond of it. Actually quite refreshing wheat based. The brewery is called La 20 which is a reference to the Honduran slang phrase of being disoriented, off-track, a drift or going around in circles.
Here is a generic pic I have of it.
I also tried their other offerings in no particular order:
- La Jefa (IPA)
- El Profe (Lagger)
- El Chele (Pale Ale)
Thanks for the picture and the information; I must admit that I have never heard of them, but they do look interesting.Yes it was and I am rather fond of it. Actually quite refreshing wheat based.

Must check out some beer reviews (how sad is that? I have been known to beer reviews sometimes).
Well, they are a true micro-brewery and based in a Central American country. So likely them being out in the US or Europe is slim to none.
It isn't sad, after all, aren't we looking to expand our wine and spirit knowledge?
I remember being absolutely blown away by the variety - and the quality - of beer available in both Belgium and Germany (in shops and in pubs) when I first visited each of these countries as a student.
Yes, so am I.
This is not a case of quantity versus quality; rather, this is where you can find quantity and quality, an amazing concept and one that rendered me speechless with awed delight.
Not into darks, so for Monday's a crisp Ale does it.
A crisp ale worls well, also, agreed.
However, in recent years, I have come to appreciate dark beers a lot more, especially as the nights draw in, and autumn and winter draw near.
Sipping a St Bernardus Pater 6 (in a St Bernardus beer glass, naturally).
I have tried to gain a liking for those coffee and chocolate notes of a dark beer. Alas, the liking of it, just eludes me.
What do you think of the "weissbier" or wheat beers which are cloudier than ales or lagers but lighter than the darker beers?
I like them, and depending on the mood will pick one. Yesterday, I had one as a wind down.
I used not to like - or drink - dark beers, but, increasingly, my palate approves.
However, I have come to realise that the over-hopped beers (currently very fashionable) don't really appeal to me.
I love a good Weissbier.
Actually, I still vividly remember my stunned and stupefied delight when I first encountered this wonderful beverage when I was a student, spending a summer in Germany quite some time ago.
This has become an increasing problem in the American microbrew market, with big, over-hopped IPAs dominating and overwhelming brewers' ability to profitably produce other styles. As much as I enjoy a really, really good IPA, I chafe at the lack of variety I've been seeing lately.
Partly inspired by @Scepticalscribe, I picked up a 4-pack of Ayinger Oktoberfest Märzen at Trader Joe's this past weekend. I've been taking the Germans too much for granted for a while, so now's a good time to correct that.
Oh, yes.
A heartfelt and profound amen to this sentiment.
I couldn't agree more.
Ah, wonderful; do enjoy.
The German classics are classics for a very good reason.
