Sikatuna Craft Brewery

https://web.facebook.com/sikatunacraftbrews

It all started out of curiosity. In 2014, the owner read an article on the craft beer movement in the US, and being a beer drinker, they wanted to know what the fuss was all about.  When they opened that first bottle of Chimay, the first thing that crossed their mind was, “What the heck have I been drinking these past years?!?!”

And so, they sought out whatever craft beer they could find locally, and from then on, they were hooked. They then felt the need to let fellow Filipino beer lovers know that there is much, much, much more to beer than SMB. From their first three home brew kits to a 5-gallon setup, it slowly evolved into the humble brewery that it is now.

Sikatuna brews the world of beers to answer a refined Filipino palate. Their dedication to brewing only the finest pints is rooted in the rich history of their namesake.  Sikatuna granted Miguel Lopez de Legaspi the honor of a  blood compact to seal a relationship with the world. They basically bring the world’s craft beers back home. It’s in the blood.
