I love Presidente pilsner as much as any pilsner. It's a joy to get it fresh in the DR. The stuff we get in the states is more skunky because it's just not as fresh (not to mention the green bottles don't help).
But I search for smaller breweries in DR, like micro-breweries or brew pubs. There is one in La Vega (don't know much about it except it is a low volume brewer), but that's about it.
Why aren't there any micro brews, or even brew pubs? Is there no demand for varietal tastes beyond Presidente, even in smaller batches? You'd think the European tourists would like more variety in DR beers.
Any thoughts from the "hop heads" out there?
