Production & Heritage

Cervecería Bavaria introduced Club Colombia in 1949 under the name Club Sesenta, commemorating sixty years of the Bavaria Foundation — making it the company's first premium beer. The brewery operates across six locations throughout Colombia. Club Colombia Dorada is brewed with a combination of malted barley and caramel malt, the latter lending its signature golden color and slightly sweet, biscuity character that distinguishes it from lighter Colombian lagers.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Bready malt leads the nose, followed by a subtle lemon note and a faint floral lift. The overall impression is clean and inviting without being overly sweet.

Taste: The entry is crisp and spritzy, with balanced malt sweetness giving way to honey-like notes at mid-palate. A gentle citrus brightness rounds out the flavor, keeping the beer lively and easy-drinking without veering into bland territory.

Finish: A measured bitterness takes hold in the aftertaste, leading to a dry, clean conclusion. The finish is refreshing and encourages another sip without lingering heaviness.

How to Drink Club Colombia Dorada

Serve well-chilled in its bottle or poured into a pilsner glass to appreciate the golden color and steady carbonation. This lager is a natural fit for several easy-drinking preparations:

• Michelada: The malty backbone holds up against lime juice, hot sauce, and Worcestershire without disappearing.
• Beer-garita: Blend with a classic margarita base — the caramel malt adds depth that lighter lagers lack.
• Shandy: Mix half-and-half with fresh lemonade for a low-ABV summer drink where the honey notes complement the citrus.

Best For

• Introducing friends to premium Colombian beer beyond mainstream options
• Backyard grilling sessions where a flavorful but easy-drinking lager is essential
• Pairing with Latin American cuisine at casual dinner gatherings
• Stocking a cooler for warm-weather celebrations and weekend get-togethers
