Yet another oddity is in the press release they mention that the beer is brewed in a brewery that was founded in 1884, and which they claim is the oldest Brewery in Argentina. So that undoubtedy means it's a contract brew, especially since they don't mention it by name. Quilmes was founded in 1888, so it isn't them.

The one up here is a 4.9% lager brewed by C.A.S.A. Isenbeck, and sold in clear bottles in an attempt to grab some of the Corona crowd: http://www.lcbo.com/lcbo-ear/ProductResultsController?ITEM_NUMBER=611095 http://www.ratebeer.com/Beer/patagonia/46389/ Meanwhile, the one referred to here is supposed to be a 4.5% blonde ale - yet it is listed on RateBeer as Patagonia Amber Lager: http://www.ratebeer.com/Beer/patagonia-amber-lager/61324/ And just to confuse matters even further - according to RateBeer, Patagonia is also used as a brand name for three export beers from Cerveceria Valdivia S.A. in Chile, and a brown ale from Argentina's Cerveceria Artesanal El Bolson: http://www.ratebeer.com/Beer/patagonia-bock/36400/ http://www.ratebeer.com/Beer/patagonia-lager/34122/ http://www.ratebeer.com/Beer/patagonia-pale-ale/36396/ http://www.ratebeer.com/Beer/el-bolson-patagonia-ale/19437/ Actually, I don’t think this is the same Patagonia that we have in Ontario.

Not anything to look forward to, I'm afraid. We have Patagonia in Ontario’s LCBO. Not anything to look forward to, I’m afraid.
