Cristal
Peru's most-consumed beer, brewed by Backus & Johnston (AB InBev) since 1922 and known locally as "La Rubia". 100% malted barley, aromatic hops, 5% ABV — Pilsner-style but softer-bodied, with a clean drinkability and good white head. The beer of Lima cevicherías, Cusco markets and every Andes village bar.
