BAGUIO CRAFT BREWERY EXPERIENCE: Drinking Darn Good Craft Beer!

If there's one place that beer drinkers would love to visit when in BAGUIO, it would be the BAGUIO CRAFT BREWERY. Located along Marcos Highway, it's super easy to spot this watering hole.
Divided into three distinct areas, the over all feel of the place is homey and chill. There's a bar on the 2nd floor and third floor. Also, they even have a speak easy just for those people that like cocktails.
The second floor has a more complete lineup of drinks. Once you enter, they ask if it's your first time and they teach you about the different beers that they have. They could even let you have a free taste just so that you could get what you want. Personally, I prefer the third floor just because there's a viewing deck somewhat.
Food wise, their dishes are pretty good. They are mostly marinated with some type of beer and are best partnered with your choice of alcohol. The ISAW or intestines has a sweet and savory flavor good for light beers. It's actually similar to BALOT or duck embryo. Although, the balot is a bit spicier.
One could also never go wrong with the fish and chips. Soft fish and crispy beer batter. Goes extremely well with their offerings.
Most of the beers here are made in house. One thing to note though is their ordering system. Usually, they would ask you to pay every time you order. For someone that likes drinking and keeps on going back and forth, I would suggest to open a tab instead. You just have to leave your valid ID with them so that you could pay at the end of your drinking spree.

I enjoyed my visit to BAGUIO CRAFT BREWERY. Although some might say that the food and the drinks are a bit expensive, the experience and the flavors are pretty much at par with what you could have in Manila and abroad. Amazing stuff at this BAGUIO BREWERY.

EDSA SHANGRI-LA HOPFEST: 2017 Beery Important Event

Since it is October, one of the things that I look forward to during this month would be the celebration of Oktoberfest. Mainly to enjoy good times with friends and loved ones, this German festival is perfect for the Filipino community.
This coming October 14-15, Edsa Shangri-La will be the home of HOPFEST. A gathering of more than twelve local microbreweries that will offer more than thirty beer variants. During this time, guests could either go for a beer flight for only 500Php or a package that could have unlimited craft beer and wood-fired pizza for Php1,200.
From 3-11pm, the pool side bar will be transformed into the place to be at. Beer will be free flowing for BEER-Y important persons and it would be one heck of an event.
Just over the weekend, a media preview was held to give a sneak peak into some of the beers that would be present during the HOPFEST.


Different courses were served and paired with craft beers that were locally made. One very notable drink would be the LIMELIGHT. Specially brewed for Edsa Shangri-La, this beer goes down easily. It's light in a sense that it isn't too bitter. It goes well with seafood dishes as well.

PERFECT PINT: A NEW BEERGINNING in GREENBELT MAKATI

  • 8:03:00 AM

  When one talks about beers, it's usually about a night out and with good friends and family. At PERFECT PINT, they create more of these liquid gold just to give you a good time. With a few branches around the metro, one can't help but wonder what is there to enjoy in PERFECT PINT.
 To have a great idea of what they are, visit one of their bigger branches in GREENBELT 2. Here, we could see that they have a nano brewery on the 2nd floor that creates different mixtures and concoctions that they put on tap. Not just one or two or three but as much as 20.
For the uninitiated, they could get a flight or a sampler of sorts. Picking 4 different beer flavors, you are given a lot of leeway. From there, one could order more of what they like with full sized glasses.
Fries are a different matter when it comes to PERFECT PINT. Here, you could try go for their POUTINE. Not your traditional version but it does the trick with its huge serving of cheese and gravy smothered on top of the fries.
Aside from their PIZZAS (which are a sure hit between drinkers and foodies), you would never go wrong with the KAPAL FACE. Thick cuts of pork face is deep fried to give you that crunchy yet juicy beer partner. It's like crispy pata on steroids.
If that isn't enough for you, the HEAP OF BACON would do the trick as well. This home made version was marinated and given a lot of tender, love, and care to get that amazing bite. It isn't too salty and had the right texture and ratio of fat to meat. Something like 50:50.
PERFECT PINT also have something "healthy" for seafood lovers. Aside from the surf and turf, which has ribs and huge shrimps, they have this sizzling OYSTER SISIG. Crunchy oysters that is given the sisig makeover. Oily and deadly but still somewhat perfect for everybody.

Not to be missed would be these TUNA TENDERS. Grilled tuna that are delightful on their own. Try to eat them first and judge the texture and flavor before you ask which part of the fish they are. Believe me, it's worth it.

PERFECT PINT started in a small place in BGC and now has grown into multiple branches and with its own brewery. There is no other way to go but up.
