I’ve never tried a beer from the Philippines before; I must admit I was very dubious about the quality of this little lot when they were handed over too, as my friend Jon (of Filipino pop-up outfit Kusina Ni Lola) wasn’t exactly bubbling with excitement when he handed me the cans; reserved positivity I guess would say. Thankfully each of the six beers from Baguio Craft Brewery was pretty drinkable in their own right and there are a good range of styles brewed as you can see below, the single effort from Asia Brewery was actually pretty good too and probably the best of the bunch in terms of the craft. The website the brewery have is also quite amusing, the guys that work there seem to have a sense of humour and enjoyment about their craft. The link is at the end of the article below. So what about those cans…?
So there you go, there is craft in Baguio and I would be keen to try these beers as fresh as possible, but there are plenty of other breweries out that way and maybe one day we'll get to sample some of their beers. Hopefully once again, you enjoyed the read - if you have had any experiences of craft beers from the far east, please comment below and offer up your thoughts! Until next time, Pedro --------------------------- This article was amended 21st November to reflect one of the beers was in fact from Asia Brewery and not Baguio Craft.

Welcome to the latest beer blog, featuring some brews picked up through the Summer and drunk in September. Though this is perhaps a little later than expected, we do have a bumper month for you next edition, which will feature more than the usual eight brews. It’s been a busy time of late and there will be a few extra blogs coming along featuring beer from the Philippines, beers from Hong Kong and an article showcasing some of the newest breweries in and around Liverpool who will be looking to make an impression in 2017. For now though, lets see about those September beers…
So, that is your lot for this month; next month will be an amalgamation of October and November's beers; sadly I was rather ill over this period and as such, wasn't able to make my full quota of eight beers for October; so I will make some effort to make a bumper edition in November! As ever, there will be a mix of styles and hopefully it will give you some ideas for Christmas stock, or indeed stocking fillers for that special person who loves a brew! Until next time... Pedro. |
