Medalla Light is a light lager beer and one of the best-selling beers in Puerto Rico.Verify source|date=July 2007 Its popularity may be due to its lower cost compared to its competitors, in part because it is exempt from a special tax on imported beers. This situation is often used by the brewery's marketing efforts by stating that Puerto Rico is a "permanent Happy Hour zone"("Zona de Happy Hour Permanente" in Spanish). Medalla was awarded medallions in Australia, Barcelona and New Zealand, as one of the best beers of the world, according to Cervecería India's president, Camalia Valdés. According to management, the beer was awarded for its manufacturing process, the quality of the product, and commitment to its unique taste.The awards were: Gold medal and best beer in its class in the International Golden Lager category at the 2007 New Zealand Beer Awards, Quality Medal for the third consecutive year at the World Selection contest 2007, and Quality Medal at the Australian International Beer Awards 2007 (the second biggest beer competition in the world).
