The location: Tagaytay City, Cavite, Philippines
The brewery is located in Tagaytay, a popular city just an hour-drive away from the country’s robust capital, Manila. It is the biggest tourist destination closest to Metro Manila. By reason of its proximity to the country’s capital, it is often visited by people who wish to unwind for a day or wish to have some R&R for a weekend.
With its breathtaking view of the Taal volcano and Taal lake, cooler climate (high 27, low 19 degrees Celsius) because of its higher altitude, excellent restaurants offering fusions of Filipino, Asian, European, and North American cuisines, and pleasant hotels and air B&Bs, people cannot but visit this lovely city.
The brewpub is situated on the main road fronting the city’s mini theme park, Sky Ranch. It is accessible to the public and is very hard to miss.
