Anchoring Playa Potrero's gastronomy park (El Garden), this expat-owned brewery excels at sours, stouts and gose-style beers. And once the friendly owners have lured you into their beer garden, you might as well give the surrounding street snacks a taste. The thin-crust pizza from the wood-fired oven is superb, as are the pork skewers from Gritanga.
