A list of local craft beers from all over the country.
From Poblacion bars to Palawan cafés, craft beer has made its way into our local
counters. Commercial beers may be more accessible but these small independent
brewers are turning the pub scene upside down.
We're no longer in the shadows of the craft beer industry, and take a cold swig on this fact: Filipinos are concocting their own brew and cracking open a cold one, so we're in the game for sure.
Craft beer is a treasure that we're more than willing to look for and lucky for you, STATUS has the map. We've located our top picks of craft beer brewers within and outside the metro. Hop on board and try not to get trashed along the way.
