From San Jose - The Art of Craft Beer

The interest of Craft or homemade beer in Costa Rica has grown over the years thanks to the influence of the international beer market. With so many types of beer from light beers and Lagers to Pilsners and dark beers, this tour is ideal for those who want to get a taste of a variety of different kinds - Costa Rica style!

Luckily for us, most of Costa Rica's microbreweries and craft beer pubs are based in downtown San Jose. On this tour, we'll visit a number of pubs and sample ten different beers, while learning about the brewing process, eating deliciously-paired "tapas" or as we say in Costa Rica: "bocas," and meeting friendly local folk. Our meeting point is one of the best souvenir shops in Costa Rica located in the lively San José neighborhood of Barrio Escalante, where you will see handmade goods and fun things to bring home and share with friends.

Start with the first pub stop that brews their own beer and you will get to try three different types of their delicious home brew. From there, you'll travel around San Jose on foot, taking time to stop into a bunch of beer-focused pubs to try their house cerveza paired with some yummy local food options.

The tour will finish up in a lovely local pub which is the perfect place to grab dinner (if you're still hungry after taste-testing Costa Rican "bocas" along the way) or stay for a few more beers! This is a walking tour and we cover almost 2 to 4 kilometers on this tour, stopping along the way and learning a lot.
