Antigua Brewing Company
Microbrewery
in Antigua,
Central,
Guatemala 🇬🇹
Associated Venue: Antigua Brewing Company
Established in 2015
We officially opened our doors as Antigua’s first brewery in 2015. But began years before home-brewing, and then we opened our little speakeasy, where now you can find our friends bar called U’lew, it was there that we gained a reputation for brewing quality hand crafted beers. Thanks to Guatemalan’s insatiable appetite for good beer, we soon bought out the neighboring restaurant and built our current brewpub. Today we continue to brew many of Guatemala’s favorite artisanal beers in our locally built, three-barrel, brew system. We use only: water, malts, yeast and hops, the four ingredients allowed in the oldest traditions of brewing. You can only enjoy our house beers at our brewpub, where our beers are brewed fresh every week, always unfiltered, and served on tap straight out of our bright tanks.

From bottle at the brewpub, cloudy brown color, no head, aromatic roasted coffee aroma with some maple and waffle, cofee flavor with an unusual flowery hint, light bodied, quite strong sourness. Nice and easy.
