La Santísima Flor de Lúpulo — Restaurant in Oaxaca

We didn’t eat here we came to try some local beers. My family agreed to walk 15 minutes to go here instead of the brewery that was right across from our hotel and it was 100% worth it. Advice: grab a flight, enjoy them all, and then get a pint of your favorite. Pay attention to % of alcohol (ask the bartender) some of them are tricky! Black IPA was a special treat. After we enjoyed beers my husband noticed they also have a Oaxaca whiskey flight. Amazing presentation and Jorge our bartender was super knowledgeable about the the whiskeys, how they’re were made, where they were from etc. we brought a card game to play while we drank and it was a super enjoyable afternoon. Cool place, good music, some locals some tourists. We will probably be back before our vacation is...

The bar staff are all super friendly too, if you enjoy going beer and food this place is a must when...

I was very confused when i could never find it, but in fact La Santísima is the beer program at the Gourmander. They brew their beer outside the city, and tap it here.

Oaxacan craft beer scene is in its infancy and you can very much tell. I tried a total of 4 beers and none were good:

IPA - finish was of burnt plastic and cup was grimey Black IPA - bitterness was unpleasant and felt of charcoaled vegetables Porter - was totally flat and had no discernible flavors Stout - i don’t even remember how this tasted. very...
