Beer, Brewers and the Beach was a winning weekend combination at the first Baler Craft Beer Festival hosted by the Baler Beach Club.

Eleven Filipino brewers set up stalls near the beachfront and showcased their selected brews upon the invitation of the newly established Baler Brewing Company. Previous craft beer festivals were mostly held in Manila. This was an opportunity to let people outside of Manila taste Philippine craft beer.

“The beauty of craft beer is that it actually brings your artist out when brewing a beer. So, you can actually brew like, almost anything. Like, from fruit flavor to coffee flavor, to sili, to lemon, almost anything that he can actually think of.,” gushed Jun Flores, president of the Craft Beer Association of the Philippines. Flores noted that the Philippine craft beer scene started with a small community around ten years ago. But now, there are around 60 breweries all over the Philippines from Sagada up North to Iligan City down south.

The brewers happily talked to crowds about their breweries and their beer. The participants were a mixed bunch composed of established players to startups highlighting the vibrant craft beer scene. The spirit of creativity and collaboration was also on display as some participants had joint brews on tap.

The festival also showed beer trends, most notably, some brewers introducing New England IPAs, a new style of beer that became popular in the states in 2018 characterized by being hazier than regular beer that have a creamy mouthfeel suitable to tropical fruity juicy flavors. New variants sweet, fruity, juicy, and easy drinking beers were also on tap for beginner beer drinkers to savor and start their journey to sampling more complex stouts and IPAs.
