Famosa - Get famous, by yourself

Famosa - Guatemala

When I think of Central America, I think of drug lords and disease. I saw some beer from there and was all excited to buy it. Its actually pretty good. Id totally buy it again, though I think whoever is in charge of marketing needs to be fired. 

Yo dude, we are drinking cock tonight.

"Bring your party to life."

For sure brother. Roosters make me think of eggs, which is weird because they don't lay them. Guatemala has a rich history with the Mayans. Why cant they have used that? Imagine drinking a beer with a picture of a few guys playing Mayan death ball on the box. Are you fucking shitting me? Ill take 10 cases. 
They call it "Gallo" outside of the good old USA. It started being crafted in 1896 and is the most famous beer in the region, hence its name with a foreign misspelling twist. Close enough of a spelling for us Americans to get the drift, but they took the U out and added an A to the end to make it mysterious.

As for the "Bring your party to life" on the top, well, If you show up to any party I throw with a 6 pack thinking your going to be a game changer, I will personally punch a hole in your face.

The Verdict:

Its really pretty good. If it came in a larger case and I had a different box to put it in, I totally would. Thats the glory of weird beer though. Keep brewin' world.
