Description
Old Harbor Brewery was born in the Old San Juan guided by some of the most prestigious German beer makers, pursuing the dream of creating a beer, which it’s quality would be beyond compare. Established in 1996, Old Harbor Brewery is the first Craft Micro Brewery in Puerto Rico. Since the beginning, we knew that ingredients matter that is why we use Weyerman malts, from Germany. Our Passion to create unequaled quality beer has been recognized by the world-renowned World Beer Cup in Germany, the Playboy Magazine, and the US Beer Tasting Competition among other prestigious entities, endorsing our commitment to keep doing superior beers.

In 2017 the brewery was consolidated from Old San Juan to the main brewery in Carolina, PR. We kept all the same beers recipes, processes, equipments, brands, ingredients and Brew Master, reaffirming our commitment to provide the ultimate premium Craft Beer in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean.

Pint at the brewery. Lightest haze over a gold body. Finger of white head. Lots of apparent carb. Huge passionfruit and melon nose. Lime soda. Fizzy. Lightly sweet but all the fruit esters. Kveik might actually work with the tropicals. Off dry. Spritzy.

12oz can pours a lightly hazy orange with some lacey white head. Nose has citrus peel, soap, dried grasses. Flavors all follow. Its very pithy and old school to a degree. 27 IBUs feels light and it's a bit heavy to be a session. Fine enough though.
