Beers Around Panama
Panama was the last country we would drink beer in during our grand tour through all of Central America. In a land filled with pale lagers, we were eager to try some of the craft brew pubs we heard existed in Panama City. Previously the craft beers in Costa Rica were […]
Searching for Lviv’s Masonic Restaurant

Beers Around Costa Rica

This is Part-2 of our hurried visit through Costa Rica. See Part 1: Waterfall Edition (Rincon and Tenorio) here. Overall we had very mixed feelings about Costa Rica as a travel destination.
