Pinatubo Craft Beer

When the history of craft beer in Angeles City is written someday far into the future, one indisputable fact will stand right at the top of the story: and that is that Pinatubo Craft Beer started it all.

It was early September, 2015 when two German expats in Angeles City, Michael and Juergen,  poured their first hand crafted beer at their small tap room in Angeles City, an auspicious moment that changed the face of beer drinking in Angeles City and the Pampanga region forever. What had once been a terminally boring beer scene had now become beer drinking nirvana.  

Since then the team at Pinatubo have introduced 7 amazingly delicious craft beers that have attracted a huge fan base from all over central and northern Luzon.  What makes Pinatubo Craft Beer unique among all of the Philippine based micro-breweries is that they hand craft their beers with imported German ingredients to exacting German purity law. The German purity law refers to a set of rules in beer making laid down over 500 years ago and still practiced today in the world’s best beer drinking nation.

So, yes, not only is Pinatubo a Philippine based craft beer, but it is really a German craft beer that is made in the Philippines, specifically Angeles City. Now you are getting the picture right? Real German beer made locally! No wonder their beers are so popular.   

And get this. For the Angeles City Craft Beer Festival, Pinatubo will be debuting their newest creation, a dark wheat beer.

It should be a VERY merry Xmas season, German beer style, indeed!
