Antigua Guatemala, Sacatepéquez, Guatemala
Antigua Brewing Co. is a group of local and foreign brewers and beer lovers dedicated to serving the highest quality craft beer to the good people of Guatemala. Our chef and kitchen staff are passionate about sourcing the freshest local ingredients, and combining international culinary favorites with local Guatemalan flavors to create plates that pair perfectly with the best craft beers in the country. We believe that our brewpub can help to strengthen community as a place to bring people from all walks of life together to enjoy live music, good food, great beer and one another. 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, now known as the infamous 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.
