Sip and Savor: The Craft Beer Experience

As the afternoon rolls in, why not indulge in a taste of local flavor with the Craft Beer Tour?

You’ll visit three local craft breweries, each nestled in the picturesque landscapes of Guanacaste. Sample a variety of beers, from fruity pale ales to rich stouts, and immerse yourself in the vibrant beer culture that defines this region.

The tour is not just about tasting; it’s about experiencing the ‘pura vida’ lifestyle that Costa Rica is famous for. Meet passionate brew masters, learn about the brewing process, and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow beer enthusiasts. A review from March 6, 2025, highlights the tour’s appeal:

Must-Do amazing craft brewery tour - The tour was an incredible experience of Costa Rican craft brewery scene. Patzy was an amazing guide, so knowledgeable, and a very fun person to have in our tour. All the brew masters we met were also great. So passionate about their craft. And best of all. The beers were so so good. Definitely a must-do trip if you’re in Costa Rica.

As the day winds down, you’ll find yourself at a beachfront brewery, savoring an evening meal and live music, all while the rain adds a cozy backdrop to your adventure.
