Beers Around Nicaragua
Nicaragua was a bit of a beer wasteland, even more so than what we found in Guatemala (our last beer review). There are only about four commonly found yellow fizzy beers here, no small breweries (update: there’s now a craft brewpub in SJDS) or craft beers, and imports were typically rare and […]
