Santiago, the lively capital of Chile, is a place where the Andes meet the city. With its diverse neighborhoods, lively plazas, and ever-changing food scene, it has become a great place for travelers who love to explore through taste. Santiago has more than just museums and mountain views. It also has a growing love for craft beer.

There have been a lot more independent breweries and taprooms opening up in the city in the past few years, especially in places like Barrio Italia, Bellavista, and Ñuñoa. Kross, Jester, and Granizo are some of the breweries that have become known for using local ingredients in their beers. They make everything from bold IPAs with native fruits to dark ales with a rich, malty backbone. Many craft pubs have rotating taps and tasting flights, which make for a friendly atmosphere where locals and visitors can drink pints instead of cocktails.

The sense of community in Santiago's craft beer scene is what makes it so appealing. Many taprooms are also cultural spaces where you can hear live music, eat from food trucks, and shop at weekend markets. People often talk as easily as the beer flows, and brewers are happy to talk about their latest batch or seasonal release. Prices are still reasonable, so it's easy to spend a night going from bar to bar without feeling overwhelmed by the city.

Santiago is a great place for travellers because it has the comfort of a modern capital and the excitement of a city that is still figuring itself out. The city has a unique taste of Chilean creativity, whether you're ending a day of sightseeing with a hazy IPA or planning a brewery crawl.
