Chilean artisanal beers


After having discovered the hidden gem in Chile, the artisanal beer culture, I had to find out more! Cervecería Nacional has always been the ideal place for me to better familiarize myself with the passionate beer entrepreneurs of Chile. Although this place lies a bit removed from the centre, there is really no problem to safely and comfortably find your way there.  

For any beer enthusiast, and for all others really, the menu offers a great selection of breweries and types of beer that exist here in Chile. The names of the beers are as crafty as the beers themselves, and none of them that we drank left us disappointed. - Make it a norm, to always order different beers within the group, as to try a greater variety. After two-three beers, we felt ready to move on as many of the beers have up to 10% alc. To accompany the beers, food is also offered. We ordered a pizza with jalapeños and lots of cheese to somewhat balance with the beers! 

I definitely recommend to pass by when visiting Santiago. I´m a huge fan of sharing some quality beers with good friends, over some story telling and a healthy round of laughs!   
First round: Politik Kills, Kaf Blue & a Belgium Ale
 (all of them really good in their respective category)






Upon requesting "the beer I can´t leave without drinking", a Barley Wine I strongly recommend.
I believe it was a Rothhammer, the one they have on tap! - Among my friends, the absolute favorite!

¡Saludos po´weon! (like they say it here in Chile, cheers bud!)
