Cervezas de Honduras


As far as I can tell, the number one beer down here is a tasty little pilsner called Salva Vida. The beer is brewed by SABMiller, the first multinational brewing company to start operations in Central America. The company acquired Cerveceria Hondurena from the Standard Fruit Company (Dole), a few years ago. The beer is brewed right here in Honduras and is very good. Thanks SABMiller, for making a really delicious product. Its a light-bodied brew, perfect for the climate. People who like crappy beer, like Summit Pale Ale, will not like it because it does not have that burnt peanuts and shoe-funk aftertaste. Price at your local watering hole: 20-30 lempiras....US $1.15.

Oh wow! The sea looks like a nice place to be! Mark and I are going to float down the Niobrara River (Tom, think Valentine Nebraska) this weekend. It's probably not much like the sea and it won't be green like the rainforest but the land should be brown and sandy...the river too. Have fun on your weekend away...go to the mountains and think of us! We will go to the water and think of you. Love Karen and Mark

No, no, no! You are paying way too much for that beer. It should be L.12-15.

Have you tried Barena? I don't drink beer but that is what my Jefe likes.
