Aguila itself launched in 1913 and is brewed with water, barley malt, unmalted cereals, hops, and yeast — a straightforward grain bill that prioritizes drinkability and clean fermentation character. Since 2016, the brewery has operated under Anheuser-Busch InBev's global umbrella, though production remains entirely domestic in Colombia, using locally sourced barley and Colombian mountain water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light biscuit malt leads, followed by grassy, herbal hop notes and a faint cereal sweetness.

It drinks clean and refreshing with a surprisingly full body for its 4.0% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does Aguila compare to Corona Extra?\u003c\/strong\u003e Both are Latin American-style pale lagers, but Aguila tends to show more malt sweetness and a spicier hop character, whereas Corona Extra leans slightly lighter and more neutral on the palate. Aguila also carries a marginally lower ABV (4.0% vs. Corona's 4.6%).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Aguila good for beginners?\u003c\/strong\u003e Aguila is an excellent entry point into Latin American lagers — its clean, approachable flavor profile and low 4.0% ABV make it easy to enjoy without any acquired-taste barrier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is Aguila made?\u003c\/strong\u003e Aguila is brewed entirely in Colombia by Cervecería Bavaria, which was founded in 1889 and operates breweries in cities including Barranquilla, Medellín, Bucaramanga, Tocancipá, Tibasosa, and Yumbo. The brewery has been part of Anheuser-Busch InBev since 2016.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat foods pair well with Aguila?\u003c\/strong\u003e Grilled meats and Colombian-style carne asada benefit from the beer's dry, cleansing finish. Empanadas and arepas match well with its malty sweetness. Ceviche and aguachile complement the crisp carbonation. Spicy dishes like ají-topped proteins are tempered by the low bitterness and cold serve temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat sizes does Aguila come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e This listing is a six-pack format; Aguila is also commonly available in single bottles and larger multi-packs depending on market availability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Aguila worth the price?\u003c\/strong\u003e Aguila positions as an everyday, value-tier import lager — comparable in price to other widely distributed Latin American beers. For the quality of its malt character and its status as Colombia's flagship beer, it represents solid value within the imported lager category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eWhy Aguila?\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAguila has been brewed without interruption since 1913, making it one of the longest-running beer brands in South America and far and away the dominant lager in Colombia. That longevity is not accidental — the recipe delivers genuine refreshment through a balanced interplay of pilsner malt sweetness, cereal grain, and herbal hop bitterness that many mass-market lagers fail to achieve. Brewed with Colombian mountain water and locally sourced barley, Aguila retains a sense of regional identity even under global ownership. For drinkers seeking an authentic taste of Colombian beer culture rather than a generic international lager, Aguila is the benchmark.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aguila","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44839113228457,"sku":"37940","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/Aguila-Lager-6__83277.jpg?v=1730517182"}],"url":"https:\/\/theliquorbarn.com\/collections\/aguila.oembed","provider":"The Liquor Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
