When visiting a new place I like to try some of the local beverages.
This was the first local brew I had in San Jose, Costa Rica. I was told that this lager is the most popular beer in the country.
We had these with lunch at Nuestra Tierra in San Jose with good food and live music. I wish I remembered the name of the one on the left, it was good. On the right is a margarita, also good
On our visit to a coffee plantation outside San Jose we learned their way to make the best cup of coffee Put the ground up beans in the sock like filter and gently pour the boiling water through it to the serving pot below.
While we were waiting these beings were hovering over us.
Back at the hotel three more local Costa Rican beers.
At the pineapple plantation they served these refreshing drinks. Fruit juice fortified with Guaro, a clear liquor distilled from fermented sugar cane juice.
They also served this pineapple cocktail.
A very local west coast IPA craft brew we had at the El Perezoso near Arenel.
On the left is the most impressive drink of the trip. Nancy had it at dinner in La Fortuna near the Arenel volcano.
On the right is a simple margarita also quite acceptable.
