Hello John Labriola, the reason why there are so many german beers in las Sierras (Villa General Belgrano)is because the very large german influence. Villa General Belgrano is a german city. It was created in 1932 and the first 15 resident familys were germans. Here is a web address where you can check more about it’s history, hope you undesrtain some spanish.

Alan:
The more info out there the better imho. Actually I didn’t want to go into much detail but felt a little bit was necessary to what I will ultimately post. Which hopefully will be up today.

Cesar:
Oh I hear ya. I’d probably have the same feelings if I was away from Argentina for a while. Funny how it always works out that way.

I’m on the other side of the equation I miss going to a bar with friends in BA, getting a few litres of Quilmes, and kicking back. Over here it costs me $8 or more for a 12 oz bottle of decent beer when I go out, though admittedly, it’s great to have the choice, especially when you buy it at the store.

Now this is a post that’s close to my heart!

I was going to write a blog post about the beer choice in Argentina (well, more specifically Buenos Aires) sometime, but seeing as you have beaten me to the punch with your first leg I’ll see what you say with the next installment and it will probably make the post I was planning redundant

I too am missing my beer from home, though in my case it is English beer (yes, us with the warm pints!)

Whenever I’m in Argentina and throwing a big party, we get a keg. We have a house in Carlos Paz near Cordoba and they have a decent selection. But when I want to try something different I head into the Sierras, because there are so many micro breweries and good imported German and Belgium beer. I guess because they get a lot of tourists from that neck of the woods…
