Mickeymoose--A little more info would be appreciated. Stella Artois is not the be-all and end-all of Belgian beers.

Stella sucks. The Pub/Spaghetti House has Leffe and Hoegaarden.

That link doesn't work, at least for my computer. Any feedback? Also, where's Stan's Irish Pub in relation to the HDR? I'm something of a beer connoisseur, and I guess I'm a bit spoiled living here in CA, with all the microbreweries/specialty bars we have here. It seems like an abundance or good beer is the only thing lacking in CR... hopefully I'll be proven wrong.

Here's the site for La Mochila http://www.costaricabackpackers.com/Cos ... urant.html
And here's about Stan's http://www.irishpubcostarica.com/

A good general site about bars is http://www.ticoparty.com

You will not get good beer in Costa Rica, but you will get beer. Beer snobbery is for fags. Drink some Imperial and get some pu*sy.

Nothing wrong with appreciating good beer. Bringing a bottle of St. Bernardus Abt 12 to a cookout, however, is slightly douchey behavior. I am probably the most knowledgeable person on beer on CRT, but I can still enjoy a Rock Ice while ogling some young, hot poon. Enjoying the local flavor is part of the whole experience.

I can't drink the light pale pilsners that pass for beer in the US. The light beers are even worse. They just have zero flavor. But I can drink some American beers, mostly microbrews and a few mass produced like Shiner. But I love good Imperial or a Bavaria dark, I funnel those down constantly when I am in CR.

Are they much better than light American pilsners? Better yes, but not much better. But I find I like the beer down there, it must be the atmosphere that makes them feel better - meaning being surrounded by hot chicas who are on the market makes everything in life better.

Whoa dude! Not sure if that was aimed at me or K-Paxian, but I'm defintitely not going to CR for the drinks. I was just curious if they had anything other than Bud Light, and if so, where I could find it. I'll make sure to try the local brews while I'm there -- I'm never afraid to try something new. I can survive a week without good drinks, so long as I'm getting tons of poon every night... I do have my priorities, you know.

Try this site--the listing is from 2008 but you might get (beer) lucky. Also there is a pretty good Nicaraguan beer called Tonia that's somewhat available--try Harry's Bar Poas for example.

There used to be another brewpub called K & S Cerveceria run by German brewmasters but evidently that got closed down--more's the pity,
