Balboa, Atlas, Panama, Soberana, Cristal, Warsteiner...Guinness...

Gustatory pleasures abound throughout Panama, and the pleasures extend to the beers as well. While most of the beers found in Panama are light pale lagers, Panama almost certainly has the widest range of domestic brands with Balboa, Atlas, Panama, Soberana, Cristal, HB, Balboa Ice, and a few contract-brewed beers like Warsteiner and Guinness Stout.

There are breweries in Panama, both located in Panama City: Cerveceria Nacional is the oldest and largest of the two, having been established in 1909 and accounting for roughly 70 percent of the Panamanian beer market. Cerveceria Baru is the up-and-coming challenger, with about 30 percent of the market.

Most of the beers found in Panama are light and when the temperature starts climbing along with the midday sun, there's really no refreshment on earth quite as good as an ice cold light pale lager beer.

My favorite brew is the green bottled "Panama" and I think it stands out as a beer that's really worth drinking for its flavor properties -- not just its ability to slake the thirst of a sun-drenched drinker.
At 4.5 percent alcohol, its also among the stronger beers in Panama, the others range around 3.6-3.8
