I haven't done a beer review in quite a while so here goes.
Unlike other foreign beers that are sold in the United States (U.S.) (a number of them aren't like Sapporo and Fosters), Famosa Lager (Gallo, don't know why I should include that) is actually brewed in Guatemala City, Guatemala and imported to the U.S. Total Wine & More in Laurel, Maryland sells 12 ounce 12 packs in cans for $9.99 U.S. which I think is a decent price for that much foreign (to those us in the U.S.) beer. The beer is classified as a Euro pale lager.
The beer has a crisp and not bitter taste. I find it a decent lager. Plus, it reminds me of my Panama Canal cruise with Royal Caribbean International. One of the ports my ship (Legend of the Seas) called at was Puerto Quetzal which is a container port which Guatemala apparently uses for cruise ships too. From there, I took an excursion to Antigua Guatemala which was a pretty interesting town.
Anyway, while visiting there, I remember seeing advertising for Famosa Lager but, I didn't get around to trying it while I was there. However, I did make amends once I got back to the U.S. and did get to try it. It's a decent beer. I've had worse. I remember one in Peru that was pure piss water but, that's another story which I'll spare you for now.
Overall, I think Famosa Lager is a decent foreign beer which Total Wine & More offer at a good price. If you want to try a decent beer from a country you've probably never been to, you might want to give it a go. Happy and responsible drinking all!
