Originally named Cerevisia Craft Brewery, but later changed to Botanico Brewing Co.
In 2013, a few likeminded imbibers from the West joined our brew-master in a common goal: to find a craft beer, microbrewery, or libation in Phnom Penh that was reminiscent of home. You, too, may have experienced a similar day with limited results. It was because of this that we took matters into our own hands and began crafting full-bodied beers with iconic aromatics and a pleasing finish.
Cerevisia is Latin for "beer," and quality is a universal language. We don't cut corners. You won't find us in every taproom, only the best.
Near black with a beige head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, light Brett infection, roast and caramel. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Still infected, but a stout hides more flaws..
Fairly hazy brown with a tan head. Aroma of malt, citrus, herbal notes and Brett. Infection? Surely not! Flavour light to moderate sweet, moderate bitter and light sour. Light medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
