Barranco Beer Company

 

A pleasant place in a very nice area of Lima. Definitely off the tourist beaten path. It’s fairly spacious with the brewery in the back behind glass. The atmosphere is convivial, definitely tailored to the local crowd.

Although I didn’t have any food, the menu featured pizzas, sandwiches, and some local styled dishes.

For the beer, I didn’t like that a sampler required only their five regulars plus a Marzen. Even though there 13 other beers to choose from. Service wise, I’d call it Peruvian efficient—attentive when asked. Alas, their regular set of beers is subpar against the typical expectations in the US or Canada.

I’d still suggest a trip out to here if only to soak up the Peruvian beer scene.

 

 

 

Great spot. Get the Media Tarde - amazing brew with local coffee flavor.

By far the best beer I had in Peru. Quality is solid, though not spectacular. Seven taps brewed here. U.S. rock music. Beer solid quality by U.S. standards, which is almost impossible to find in Peru (or at least Cusco and Lima, only places I have been). I would return here even in U.S. Did not try food.

4.5 rating but if in the states I would place this at a 3.5. I do not want to insult the people here, I am happy to be in Peru and find a BrewPub. Food is ok, the restaurant is nice, but they only have 4 middle of the road beers.
Fifti Lager (a "German" lagar) that has a slight funkyness to it)
Weiss Presidente (A Hefeweizen)
Bulls Ay Ale (red Ale)
El Duque (Dark Wheat)

I would give the beers here a 4 but if I was in the states a 3. all are pretty bland, and if the water quality is the common funk in the beers that explains it, Other wise that slight funk is coming from the heat exchanger and they have an infection.

Food was good, but nothing I had stood out as wonderful.

If in Lima I would suggest a visit if your here a week or more, otherwise I would suggest finding someplace that sells Barbarian and thier bottled beers at really well done!

Well, this is a brewery and a bistro type restaurant, with light bites. The amazing thing about this brewery is that only four beers are being brewed. FOUR! And that is it. This place would put many breweries to shame in the developed world, yet the output is minimal. Outstanding infrastructure, but no beer.

The beers are good. Very mainstream. Nothing funky or out of the ordinary. Really it is not even worth to go, except that only three beers get massive distribution in the whole country. To try something else, you need to come here or to go to other bars, or restaurants.

If you go to the supermarket, only three beers.

This place is friendly and cheap, with decent food, and a nice atmosphere, but unfortunately the beer just sucks. It's made with the local water, which, in Peru, is not good. The best beer by far was the hefeweizen. The brewery also blends different beers together to create new beers, which are even worse than the originals.
