Contributor: Jacob Sjúrður Hansen

Imported by G.K.Skaggs of Irvine CA and Ace of Hearts Imports of Hyattsville MD. Thanks to Ernesto Quinonez for sending the brewery-fresh bottles! Here are his comments:

- Pilsener of El Salvador is our best selling in Central America. The basic formulation has been around since the inception of the company in 1906.
- Suprema is our product to penetrate the general market. We are positioning this product as an exotic lager.
- Regia is our traditional beer to be shared with friends. The quart size is consumed in Central America in restaurants and bars, but we drink it amongst friends, not like what we have noted in the US, where larger sizes are consumed by and individual. Drink Regia using 8 oz glasses, with friends, You will love it.
- Premier is a new product, launched last year in El Salvador. Has a very distinctive flavour. Try it and tell us what you think.
