A Beer Inspired by La Parguera
Nestled along Puerto Rico’s southwest coast, La Parguera is renowned for its crystal-clear waters, offshore cays, world-class boating, kiteboarding and its famous bioluminescent bay.
Boquerón Brewing Co. created La Parguera Session Ale as a tribute to that adventurous coastal lifestyle.
“We love kiteboarding so we brewed a Session Ale so that we can share our passion for beer as well as the sport! A tasty Pale Ale with the right amount of hops added late in the kettle.”
