Top choice in Antigua
Put your Gallo beer down for one moment and get to the forefront of Guatemala's craft-brewing revolution at the Antigua Brewing Company. Sup its signature Fuego IPA while looking out to Volcán Agua from the roof terrace, or try a flight of beers (Q75) ranging from Belgian blondes to rich coffee stouts.
Other Guatemalan craft brewers are also represented, plus imported ales and (whisper it) plenty of non-beer drink options, as well as bar food and DJs spinning tunes in the evenings.
