Somebody tell the bars (Blue Marlin, etc.) this!

zman, I agree dude, way too many hot beers in CR. I actually like the Imperial Light. And you know what, every time I drink it, I sure as hell am enjoying myself. If they had it at Publix, I'd buy some right now just to reminisce. I just wish some place there would serve it, not cold, but sub zero ice cold. OK, ID, I know sub zero would freeze it solid !.

Anytime I am in another country, I always enjoy their beer, I guess it's something about experiencing the culture, OH, that's right, that's what their women are for, HAHAHAHA !

PUTA VIDA, guys!

whoops, I mean

PURA VIDA!

There was a microbrewery near Elite for a while but I think they have closed. i tried going there several times and they were only open once. We were the only customers. not a huge surprise they went under.

The AutoMercado in Moravia has significantly expanded their selection of quality beers. I bought a couple of six-packs of Scrimshaw & Sam Adams this morning. They had three or four selections from North Coast Brewery and about a half dozen European brands. Also had Bud and Miller. The prices were obviously higher than in the U.S., but not too ridiculous. My selections were about $11/six-pack.

I'm sure they must have the same or better selections in Escazu, but not so sure about downtown.

I have found MANY belgian beers in the Mas x Menos in Desamparados, close to parque la paz.

This includes, but not limited to:
Leffe
Duvel
Chimay
Maredsous
St. Bernardus

I find it very hard to find my favourites though:
Westmalle
Gulden Draak
Delirium

There's nobody that makes better beer than Belgium... There's no point in drinking American Swill (I mean *cough* beer)

Germany makes some OK drinks that sort of pass for beer.

England makes a few decent stouts.

Netherlands makes a couple decent beers.

Ireland makes 2 good beverages... not sure their beer though... guiness and I think it's called Murphy's.

Imperial is an OK hot weather lager... and if I'm drinking one, it means I'm in CR, so I don't complain.
