Istmo Brew Pub
Istmo Brew Pub is the perfect place for beer lovers. It is the first place in Panama to develop the concept of brewing their own beer. They can make 4 different types of beer and have named them after the provinces in Panama:
Colon: a golden beer with a strong malt flavor. It is a heavy beer.
Chiriqui: refreshing beer with a hint of caramel flavor over the malt.
Cocle: Dark beer, bitter with a slight coffee flavor.
Veraguas: copper colored, thick beer.
They also have a wide variety of other domestic and imported beers to choose from.
Istmo Pub also offers a small menu with simple meat dishes and various sandwiches to choose from.
It is a great place to get together with your friends as their prices are reasonable and the service is great.
