First off I would like to thank everyone (especially Gaucho100K) who has posted to this awesome thread. I recently bought tickets (with AA miles and cash) to Buenos Aires and the questions and replies here have helped immensely with the trip planning. I can hardly wait for our trip. In fact before even having gone I am starting to wonder how to work in a return trip
because I am sure we will enjoy our first trip so much.

I was however wondering if anyone knows anything about Beer in Argentina. We drink wine occasionally (and of course will definitely be up for drinking Argentinian wines), but my husband's one true love is Beer. Particularly Belgian (musty, yeasty, and pungent) beer. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about availability of Belgian beer in Buenos Aires? I would research it when we get there, but my Spanish is unfortunately almost Nil and so It might be more difficult. Finding Belgian Beer isn't essential to our trip but it would be a bonus!


I was also wondering if anyone has some good suggestions on where to get a really good chock full o' crema espresso. This isn't as difficult obviously as finding where to buy or consume a good Belgian Beer, but It would be nice to know nevertheless if anyone could help me out.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer regarding these questions.

Best Regards, Shakti
There is Quilmes and then there is Quilmes. Just kidding. There are quite a few "Irish pubs" and the like there, but I don't know many Argentines running around the world looking for Argentine beer (even when in Argentina). But it is an Argentine icon of sorts (unless the Brazilians bought it too) so he should try it out.
