Peruvian Beer Styles to Try
Peruvian brewers are experimenting with local ingredients. Look for beers made with quinoa, purple corn (chicha-inspired), lucuma, maracuyá (passion fruit), coca leaf, and Peruvian peppers. These unique flavors make Lima's craft beer scene stand out globally. IPAs and pale ales are popular, but stouts and sours are growing fast.
