Title: Down in Peru
Post by: sprite75 on December 20, 2019, 04:12:08 PM
Not sure if I mentioned or not but I'm down in Peru this week on vacation.  Had a pretty good trip.

Heading home tomorrow.

Here's a Flickr album with some of the 1400 pictures I've taken so far: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmJWoT1R

I have to get up well before Dawn's ass crack shows in order to make my flight.  Ugh.  Next time I'm going to schedule my flight not to leave until at least noon local time.

The beer was good.  I was able to stop at a couple breweries in Peru.

First one was in Lima's Barranco neighborhood - Barranco Brewing Company. (https://www.facebook.com/BarrancoBeerCompany (https://www.facebook.com/BarrancoBeerCompany)) - I had gotten in to town early and the area was one recommended to visit by our tour director.  I went down there and happened to find the brewery.  I had a flight there and all of them were pretty good.

Next brewery I came across was Mapacho Craft Beer in Aguas Calientes, which is right before Machu Picchu.  (https://www.mapachocraftbeer.com (https://www.mapachocraftbeer.com)) - had some beer there.  I was in town in the morning so I went in to have beer as soon they opened up for the day.  Figured I probably wouldn't have another chance any time in the near future.  Their Kölsch was pretty good.  I also had a bit of hefeweizen and an IPA.  Didn't care as much for the hefeweizen though. 

Otherwise most places had Cusqueña Dorada which is a lager beer.  I think that's their mass produced beer.  It was good.

I brought some liquid souvenirs home from Peru, namely bottles of pisco and Peruvian wine.  Looking forward to having both sometime soon.
