Craft beers are known to be more flavorful and relatively healthier than conventional types. Whether possessing fruity notes, special spices, or a bold flavor of ale, Philippine craft beers are known for their relatively wide range of distinctive tastes and characters. This event is perfect for both the cultured lager enthusiast or the neophyte that’s still trying to tell the difference between the smooth 5.2% ABV crisp and flavorful ale from an 8.5% ABV Malty Body Strong Stout.
