La Santísima Flor de Lúpulo

Oaxaca City


Goodbye Corona, hello Lúpulo (meaning 'hop,' as in the plant). Oaxaca's cherished nano-brewery (that's a brewery even smaller than a microbrewery) offers a constantly rotating batch of made-on-site craft beers served in a space barely large enough to swing a small kitten. For full immersion, order the three-glass taster board with a burger from deli/bakery Gourmand, next door.
