When it comes to beer, forget about Belgium and the UK; Latin America has some of the best. Whether you enjoy the smooth taste of a light lager [1] or the heavier flavor of a dark Vienna sip, there's something here for you. From favorites like Corona [2] and Presidente to names you might've never heard of before like Gallo or Toña, give these beers a test on your next trip down south [3] or dig for them at your local Latin supermarket. Salud!
