On the other hand, the best Cuban lager is called "Mayabe." Unlike Cristal and Bucanero, it's brewed outside of Havana (in Santa Clara, if I remember right), and most Cubans acknowledge that it's a better beer because the water in Santa Clara is much better.
According to the label it's brewed in Holguin. My Cuban geography is complete rubbish so maybe that is in Havana. Regardless, I expect it to be a novelty beer so I'm quite confident my expectations will be met or exceeded.
