Una Baia! Aguila is the most common beer in Colombia. I personally thought Baia was the best, but thats because I am a chick who like lite beer with a bit of lime. : )

No question about it...Aguila's the best damn beer out there! I pay $17 for a twelve pack at Sedano's to enjoy it. Only for special ocassions though.

Aguila - best beer
Ron - I like Ron de Meddelin, Caldas is ok!
Aguaridente Antioquo is the best.

I probably misspelt the names-oh well.

Have fun.

This is easy, Aguila!!!!!

Drank so much this past weekend, it was a shame.

Tried that Club Colombia crap, and now I wouldn't suggest it.

Aguila Light works well for a woman's taste. At least, my novia digs it.

Aguardiente Antioquia - best damn aguardiente we tasted, or maybe just the most common. We drank about 10 bottles of the stuff this past weekend. Brought a bottle back home with me too. We got so good with the stuff, we didn't even use the lime or salt. No hangovers either.

Yaayyy! Really pleased to know there are other people who think Aguila's the best lager, cos it IS by far! And Aguila Light's good for women who like Corona and that kind of lighter lager.

But one tip, guys..if you're going to talk about lager, don't call it beer, you need to be more specific. There are many types of beer, including bitter, stout, ale, mild....

Aguila is good, but best of all is Ancla.

It's all the same Colombia has many great things but its beer isn't one of them. Close your eyes and it's hard to tell the difference.

I agree w/Hollywood i did not find the beer all that appealing. though i have dutch roots so i'm used to all that delicious and potent dutch brew.

My choice is... Aguila but it's Poker in the campos. BUT Aguila, as Mr. Hollywood says, it aint going to win any international contests.

I hail from a small city in coffee country, and Poker is king. Costeña is second best, and Aguila's around but not as big as in cities.

Mr. Hollywood says on Sep 30, 2004, 20:45:

Poker, Aguila or Bud The Colombian beer industry is stuck exactly where the US beer business was about 25 years ago before the rise of many independent "micro-breweries" brought high-quality brewing to the states. An Aguila tastes almost exactly like a Bud or a Pabst or any other bland cheap American beer.

Go for the gusto! My father always said "it's not that much more expensive to go First Class" The best beer in Colombia is Heineken, hands down!

I'm no beer expert, but Budweiser tastes horrible to me, much worse than any of the mentioned colombian beers. Sure, they may not be "world class" beers, but I find they go very nice with some rumba and colombianas... that's the most important thing.

PS - Heineken is my favorite too.

oldbongo says on Oct 1, 2004, 19:08:
