The Best Places to Drink Micro Brewed Beer in San Telmo, Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires is a city that never sleeps and San Telmo is one of the most popular spots for tourists both day and night. Locals, visitors and expats alike love to eat, drink and dance until dawn in Buenos Aires. Beer is a popular beverage, surprise surprise but micro brewed beer is not readily available at many bars. The most popular beers in Buenos Aires are Quilmes, Budweiser, Stella Artois, Schneider and Warstiener. These beers are yellow, transparent and cheap. These non micro brewed beers give you a bad headache in the morning. Of the aforementioned beers Quilmes, in a brown bottle with a blue and white label, is by far the most popular and widely available beer in Buenos Aires. Additionally, Quilmes gives you the worst hangover headache. I found this out quite quickly.

The solution to this cheap beer headache is to upgrade your beer choice to an artisanal, micro brewed beer. In Buenos Aires Antares is the most widely know and available artisanal, micro brewed beer. Thankfully, Antares comes in a delicious variety of brown cloudy colors to please your distinctive palate. Unfortunately, these micro breweds beers are not available everywhere. Luckily you can find them at the San Telmo local foreigner expat bars, Gibraltar and the Red Door (aka in Spanish, Puerta Roja).
