The beers at this establishment are decent, not exceptional, but the real standout is the ambiance. It exudes a fantastic atmosphere that draws in locals and tourists alike. The fact that many patrons speak English makes it an ideal spot for socializing and meeting new people. However, it's worth noting that the noise level can be quite high, which may hinder meaningful conversations. Moreover, due to its popularity, the place tends to get crowded, resulting in frustratingly slow service.

Several of the ales are superb so one should plan to go several times. Music on Thursdays thru Sundays, mostly cover groups playing pop USA and Panamá tunes. Some of them are quit good. It is easy to meet a variety of people there. Sometimes the owner is present and will tell you more about her beers, etc.

Stopped here after dinner before heading back to our hotel. Awesome beers, awesome staff, awesome atmosphere! Live band was playing and food truck was available if you wanted to eat. Great experience—thanks!

We had read about the micro brewery and were very keen to pay it a visit.
When we arrived we walked around trying to figure out where to sit, no one approached us to assist or seemed interested in helping.
We eventually landed up outside near the bar and proceeded to try and order.
We decided on 2 taster trays to start.
Unfortunately all the brews on tap are fairly similar and nothing "wow" so sticking with a Balboa will probably save your budget.
We asked to order food and were told we needed to buy from the food truck and not the bar (food and drinks are apparently sold separately)
The burgers and loaded fries from the truck were really good (made up for the disappointing drinks) but the whole experience felt a bit disjointed and "self service". I'm not sure I'll be back.

I went on April 16th during the Easter break with my boyfriend, we were very excited as it was our first time in boquete and because of the dry law we didn’t have the chance to try the local beers.
There was a band performing during the evening so when we were paying I asked one of the girls in the bar at what time are they performing and if we could make a reservation, she said “no” very rudely so I thought it was only me, I see all the tables have names on It with a time table, however I see one table with no name on it and I said “I see there’s one table without name on it, is it possible to make a reservation”. The girl replied with an even worst attitude “ I’m not taking reservations”.
I left very angry not because of what she said but how she said it.
I think that for a very famous local place their customer service should be amazing and not this bad , the owner should fire all of these lazy rude girls and hire new employees that actually want to work and serve people.
I don’t think I’ll go back again, it honestly ruined my experience in that place.

Was excited to try this place at first. As we walked in at 3p.m. their opening time, we were told they are not quite open and told to wait 5 minutes and then had the door rudely slammed in my face by one of the female servers. Okay whatever wait 5 minutes, but then when they opened the doors, the same server along with the rest of the crew seemed disinterested in serving us. Finally once ordering a beer the same woman who slammed the door in my face shook the tip jar in front of us. Not a way to be treated if you want a tip out of it. Was hoping to try more of their beers but feel they dont deserve anyones money with that terrible display of service

Great little spot downtown for drinks good and music. I like that they had cider as well since I'm not a beer drinker. There is a food truck with burgers, chicken, etc. There is indoor and outdoor seating. There was a band the night we went playing Rock music.

I was looking forward to trying Panamanian craft beer after a week of drinking the local beers - Balboa, Atlas, Soberana, etc. which were not very good. Unfortunately, this beer was only slightly better. I knew right away that I was in trouble when I saw that the beer was being brewed in a room next to the bar that was open to the outside air temps. That ruins the yeast. The brewmaster needs to close off that room and get a good air conditioning system to facilitate a cold brew process so that the yeast remains fresh and doesn’t ruin the taste of the beer.

It’s amazing that in is this day and age we can still receive comments like this one!! Have you ever heard of glycol chillers?? Our fermenters are jacketed and unaffected by outside temperatures, inside the jackets we run a glycol solution in order to keep temperatures at optimum levels. Our ale yeasts are kept in fermentation temperatures between 18-20 degrees celcius, all depending on which part of the fermentation process it is in, all this is controlled by our trained brewers. None of our beers have off flavors due to stressed yeast in fermentation. That is why you do not find Acetaldehyde, Diacetyl or Fruity Esters in our beer. I invite you to come in and let us know the flavor descriptor of what you supposedly found in the beers. Until then please get yourself better informed before trying to hurt a small local business with two (2) independent malicious comments on trip advisor. If you don’t like the beers is fine, you are entitled by the internet to have an opinion, and it is impossible to be liked by 100% of consumers (thank God you are in the 1% circle), but don’t talk processes unless you really know them. Have a good one. Also, i am a beer judge, a cicerone and have visited at least 300 breweries around the world, so i think i know what i am talking about. Not like you with 2 malicious comments, with i have no clue what intentions.

My mistake to not read reviews before we came. I don't appreciate the self service experience really. No one cares for attention here. The wings were almost burned and BLACK taste barely eatable I mean I ate them cause we were hungry.
The same experience of others reviews about the spot to sit... I'm definitely not coming back but not so sure what else to do here in boquete after dark.

It’s like going to the food carts in Portland, good food and beer but no service. You order, carry and bus your stuff. I must say that the Smash ale is about 100 times better on draft than from the bottle. It’s a good place to go have a beer in Boquete.

Hola Alejandra, la fabrica de Cerveza esta en la Av. Principal de Boquete y es como un Bar. Muy facil de llegar y no necesitas pagar Tour. Contactalospor su web para saber si estaran abiertos en tu viaje.
Tambien te recomiendo el Hotel Panamonte
Lo mejor de Boquete son la escursiones de Canopi y la de los Puentes colgantes de la empresa Boquete Tree Trek. Son muy profesionales y los paisajes muy hermososo.
