Even a Tropical Storm Won’t Stop This Beer Fest
U.S. Craft Beer Causes Big Draw in Panama City, Panama
Neither rain, nor sleet, nor Tropical Storm shall stop Panama’s third annual beer festival Original Premium Open Pint from happening. Happening Saturday, October 14th from 6:00 pm to 11:00 pm at the Megapolis Convention Center in Panama City, Panama, this highly anticipated event features more than 100 varieties and styles of craft beers. This year’s festival features Evil Twin Brewing and Panama’s first craft brewery.
Best known for its list of imported, traditional, and premium craft beers from around the world, Panama’s most popular beer festival presents the Falco IPA from the internationally recognized Evil Twin Brewing. Now the beer geeks of Panama can experience the unfiltered, earthy flavor of the Falco IPA.
