QUILMES BEER...A POOR CHOICE OF NAME?

On my 365 Bottles Of Beer Calendar for today, the selection named above. Now, this beer is brewed in Quilmes Argentina. And I haven't tried it either...yet. But the story behind the beer is that the beer & town are both named after the Kilmes Indian tribe.

Now, it would seem to me that any tribe calling themselves 'kill-me' is just asking for trouble. "Hi- we're the kil-mes" "Oh,okay, if you insist."

Needless to say, the Kilmes Indians are extinct...
