Buenos Aires: CRAFT BEER

One of the best things to happen to craft beer is that suddenly everyone wants it, and everyone has it, including Buenos Aires. Here is a list of fantastic spots off the tourist path where you can find some great craft brews.

I have been to and written about these bars on my blog here. Check it out. The blog is full of other great places to go and things to see in Buenos Aires.
Neighborhoods for Beer
The locations for each craft beer spot are listed below by neighborhood.
Almagro
Almagro Beer Co
@nicki
This is a very small spot, absolutely off the tourist path. It's hidden in the Almagro neighborhood. There is only one counter with a few stools inside, and one table outside, but a TON of craft beer options on tap. You can also get a growler to go, as well as loads of other craft beer options in cans for take away. Highly recommend.

Belgrano
Growlers Belgrano
@nicki
This is a chain brewery around the city, and you'll find them across the city. The Belgrano location has 3 stories including a rooftop terrace. They have a pretty extensive list of craft beers and food.
They have the standard hamburger menu, and a few other things like 'burrito rolls." I had the vegan burrito roll and it wasn't great, so I don't really recommend it. But my boyfriend had the cheese burger, which was very good. Both came with french fries.
We went on a Saturday night around 10:30pm. There were quite a few people, though we were easily able to get a table on the first floor.
You'll need to order at the front counter and pay there. Then they'll give you a buzzer so you can know when to go back and pick up your food.
We ordered: Vegan burrito, hamburger, two pints
Total: 3500 pesos

Colegiales
Strange Brewing
@nicki
Strange Brewing is VERY hipster and you'll feel it as soon as you walk in. The craft beer is exceptional with a large menu. You can see the large metal tanks in the back, so you know it's all very fresh. They also have a pretty decent and unique, food menu, including a banh mi sandwich, or a grilled cheese sandwich with osobucco.
Their system to get seated is really quite disorganized, and the service is bad. But if you are not in a rush, and just want to chill, this a great spot. If you're looking for great craft beer, then this is definitely the spot.
We went on a Friday night at 8pm. It took a while to get seated, and even longer for our food to come.
We ordered nachos, grilled cheese, and 4 beers for a total of 5740 pesos.

Cerveceria Aroha
@nicki
This brewery spot has the look and feel of a brewery back home. Simple architecture, high tables. They have a pretty decent list of craft beers on tap. It's right in Palermo, and very easy to reach. They have foreign led events here, such as a trivia once a month, so it's a great place to meet other English speakers as well.
Their food options are a bit more limited, serving basically just hamburgers (though there are 2 veggie options), french fries, and nachos.
They have a Happy Hour Promo 2x1 from 6pm to 9pm. They also have about 4 gluten free (sin tacc) beer options, as well as some other 'tragos' like fernet/coca, negroni, mojito, etc.
I ordered a hamburger and two beers (during happy hour), and paid 1940 pesos.

Cerveza Patagonia - Refugio Palermo
@nicki
The original location is, of course, in Patagonia, just outside of Bariloche. There are several locations within Buenos Aires. This one is next to Plaza Armenia.
There are great vibes here because it’s in a happening part of the city (Palermo). There are various snack/drink deals for sharing.
The beers come with a small bowl of popcorn.

“Wow. Nicki is super knowledgeable about Argentina and actually travel in general. We discussed everything from general safety to the cost of renting an apartment long-term. My biggest takeaway was her ideas for using social media as a resource for learning about the people from the people. Great idea. Real nice gal too.”
-Ray
“Nicki’s consultation was amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable and answered all my questions and concerns with ease and intelligence. She’s definitely someone to talk to before you visit or relocate to Buenos Aires or other locations in Argentina.”
-Paul
“My family and I are about to embark on a 3 month trip through Argentina, we had been binge watching youtube videos from Nicki so we scheduled a call to dive deeper. Nicki helped give feedback to our itinerary and gave great local perspective from cell phones to don’t miss desserts. It was super beneficial to get the added insight.“
