No, Ironbeer is definitely Cuban but it wasn't available once Castro took over. Cubans in Florida drink it a lot and the owners insisted it was one of the most popular Cuban sodas and I can see why.The Materva was described as mate to me and on various websites. I'm sure what constitutes mate is very relative, however.Fly Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18191335990973494972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770083379947049507.post-38574122738314877572012-11-08T06:03:55.179-08:002012-11-08T06:03:55.179-08:00Right, disclaimer! I'm Cuban! Big disclaimer! ...Right, disclaimer! I'm Cuban! Big disclaimer! I'm very, very Cuban! :-)<br /><br />Never heard of Ironbeer. But the figure on the label looks ilke Hatuey. Go back to the joint and ask the owner and his daughter if they meant Hatuey. Hatuey was a native Indian who led an uprising against the Spaniards in the 16th century. He was burnt at the stake. When I was younger and still drank alcohol, Hatuey was one of my favourite beers. It was quite strong, although there was another beer that was stronger and also had the name of a native Indian.<br /><br />As for Materva, that's Cuban cola, not mate. In fact mate has never been very popular in Cuba. It's more commonly found in South America and people in Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Chile have it the same way British people have tea. I buy mate here in London from time to time and have a special gourd to drink it from. But Materva is the equivalent of Coca Cola which wasn't around when I was little on account of the embargo.<br /><br />Thanks for the lovely post. I'm always glad to see how my country spreads itself around the world.<br /><br />Greetings from London.A Cuban In Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16423293358605007539noreply@blogger.com
