Caguama
So I move to central North Carolina. Except for the fact that there are a few biggish universities here, it's the middle of nowhere USA. And what do I find the first time I walk in to my local grocery store to stock the larder of our new home?
Why, Caguama beer of course!!!
For those of you that have not come across it before, caguama is a Spanish (Central American?) reference to the loggerhead sea turtle. The beer is bottled in El Salvador, if I remember correctly (I already drank it all so I can't look it up :)
It's not particularly surprising that they have it, only that they have it and I had never even heard of it.
I very quickly found it on the web. Not sure why I hadn't heard of it before, there were many hits on google. And apparently Kroger groceries stores are one of the distribution points. Not a market we had access to in the DC area, but they are here in NC.
Obviously I had to buy some and give it a try. It is pretty similar to Corona, very good with a lime on a hot day (of which there are many here).
There is even a story on the case, in English (click on image to enlarge):
