Baguio Craft Brewery Turns Two

Staying true to its name, Baguio Craft Brewery Cebu has remained a premium casual restaurant/pub with a passion for fresh local ingredients since they opened last July 28, 2017, in the Garden Bloc of IT Park, Lahug.

For two years now, the Philippine-based company has cultivated a culture here in Cebu where people appreciate traditionally-brewed and unique handcrafted beers with no additives nor adjuncts that beer drinkers have been accustomed to. The owners believe in the idea of brewing their beer the way it’s supposed to be made. And that remained their shared passion and promise.

CRAFT BEER

Baguio Craft Brewery Cebu has the Philippine’s largest selection of locally sourced draft beer with over 20 beers on rotating tap. Inspired by the woodcarvers of Ifugao, its wooden tap handles are intricately and uniquely carved. Their selection of beer types ranges from Ales, Lagers, Fruit Beers, Non-Alcoholic, and Seasonal Beers.
