Salsipuedes

Salsipuedes is a place within the Corcovado National Park where you can only cross walking at low tide. This is a black beer in which we use handcrafted organic coffee which provides an unbeatable flavor and aroma. It bears this unique name since our brewmaster, despite not liking coffee, once had to drink it waiting for the tide to go out in the company of a very good friend. RIP Carr Pechtel.
