Draft @ Pizza Gourmet 1969: Became and instant fan of 3 Cordilleras, brewing to style, very drifferent from othe craftbewers that stick to safer light bodied ales. By far the best craftbrewery I’ve run into in Colombia (in Latinamerica). Foods Paring: Pizza Pollo BBQ.

First microbrew i tasted in Colombia. That’s good news for a market dominated by industrial lagers. Its a good ale. Not too different from Mestiza. Served on tap on bars and restaurants. Feels consistent, nice color, poor foam (probably a problem of the bartender). Tasted on La Rotonda and Hato Viejo.

An amber ale with a thick off white head, frothy and creamy. Surprise in aroma, light piney hops over a nice biscuitty malt. In mouth, a nice light ale with light English hops, nice roasted notes, a bit lighter than expected but very quaffable. On tap at Pub Escocia,Medellin, July 8 2009.

An OK amber ale--though a nice change from the lagers that dominate Colombia. Moderate amounts of malt, but a little too light on the hops. Hopefully the microbrew scene will catch on in Colombia--this is a decent start.
