Cerveza negra


Dark beer isn't very common in Uruguay although Negra Modela from Mexico and Isenbeck Dark from Argentina have been available in the bigger supermarkets. Today, I saw a locally-brewed dark beer for the first time: Patricia Salus Porter. As the name indicates, it's a porter-style beer-- dark and rich but not as thick as a stout. It's tasty: a nice change from the usual lager-style cervezas and just right for today's cool Fall weather. The label says Edición Limitada so I don't know how long it will be available but I plan to enjoy more before it's gone.

    Dear Chuck, with all the black beer,buseca,niandu,nioquis,asado,etc etc, it seems to me you might have to buy an extra sit on your way back to the states.
    I remember last time i was visiting my relatives i had to go on a diet after reaching the land of Oz. Food in Uruguay tastes sooooo goood and the beer is not bad.
    Good work Chuck!

  2. It is great to know there's a new type of local beer on the market. Even if it is for a limited time.
