Beer Scene - Bolivia

What a surprise this was, after the desert that Ecuador and Peru were of beer choice, Bolivia was like an oasis. OK, it wasn´t anything astounding, but at least the main brewer had more than two beers. In fact, I tasted ten new beers in Bolvia, after only tasting six in Ecuador and Peru combined. The highlight was most definitely the Saya Beers brewed at The Adventure Brew Hostal in La Paz. It was refreshing to drink some differnt style of beers, brewed well. Their English Ale even reminding of drinking back in London. And even the national brewer gets in on the act, with seven different varieties. Though some of them were variations on the same pilsener theme, there was better quality than from most mass-producers.

My faith in brewing has been restored again and my palate feels revitalised heading into Chile & Argentina.
