As you look around, you’ll discover a directory that will lead you to information on every current craft brewery and bar. Included in that are a map and some handy social media links to the companies. Also included are blog posts that cover a whole range of aspects and events for the local scene. There is also a dedicated section to all the posts made on home brewing. Homebrewing is a growing part of the Philippine Craft beer scene, and this area will be ever-growing. Meant to evolve, the directory, amongst other areas, will be continuously updated with new or growing breweries.

About Me:

I moved to the Philippines back in 2018, and I came from Australia, a country with an evolved craft beer scene. It was apparent when I came here that things were about to grow, but there weren’t many resources where to find these locally made brews. So as I researched where to find these places so I could have a nice cold pint, an idea hit. Why don’t I start a blog to put everything in one area, so locals and travellers alike can easily find what they’re looking for.
I’m also a keen homebrewer and have been doing it for a few years. . So when I’m not actively searching out beers, I’m making my own at home. I understand some of the difficulties local homebrewers have, and I hope to assist. I’m looking forward to continuing this blog and watching it, and the local scene grow. If you have any questions, you can always send me a message on here, Facebook or Instagram.

Until Next Time.
