Regia Extra


Regia Extra, introduced in 1959, is a popular lager beer of El Salvador and is produced by Industrias La Constancia of San Salvador. At 4.8% alcohol, it is sold as an every-day drinker, made for relaxing times and for pairing with favorite foods. Regia Extra is sold in 12-oz. bottles and cans and in large, 25-oz. bottles (brown glass, in all sizes).

You will probably never see a Regia Extra television commercial or hear a Regia Extra radio spot, but you may see a point-of-sale promotional, usually in El Salvadorean immigrant areas of the USA.

This author has sampled Regia Extra and found it to be mild, pleasant, and enjoyable. A sampling is strongly recommended.

Here is what SAB-Miller, the corporate owner, as of early 2016, says about Regia Extra:

"A medium-bodied beer with a robust and intense flavour." On the Cyclops Scale, it is scored two out of 5 sugars cubes for sweetness and 2 out of 5 hop cones for bitterness.
