Loacted in the heart of Vega Baja, AlmiBar Coffee & Beer Gallery owned by Sheila Nieves, isn’t just a spot—it’s a movement. Opened on October 4, this vibrant gathering place blends the soul of craft beer with the cozy charm of a coffeehouse. As the first of its kind in town, AlmiBar is bringing something truly special to the community and shaking things up with a unique focus on local Puerto Rican Craft Beer.
An Impressive Craft Beer Lineup at AlmiBar Coffee & Beer Gallery
Let’s talk beer. At AlmiBar, variety is the name of the game. The lineup boasts top-notch selections from Cacique Brewing Company, ColdBlood Brewery, Jíbaro Brewing, Señorial Brewing Co., Rebl Brewery, Pura Vida Brewery, Del Oeste, Cervezas Camacho, Brew Taller Experimental, Rincón Beer Co., and more. Every tap and bottle tells a story of Puerto Rico’s local brewing excellence.
But that’s not all. The gallery houses two refrigerators dedicated exclusively to craft beers. Inside, you’ll find an impressive roster of craft beers from local suppliers, including Toma, Salitre Craft Beer, Ballester Hermanos Inc., and Santurce Brewing. The aim is simple—provide a rotating selection that guarantees every visit feels fresh and adventurous.
In addition they offer a small Tapas Menu that includes: Caldo Gallego, Sliders, Smash Burgers, Torreznos (Pork Rinds) and more.
Elevating Local Breweries, One Tap at a Time
Why settle for ordinary when you can champion the extraordinary? With 12 taps featuring different Puerto Rican breweries, AlmiBar puts the spotlight squarely on the island’s craft beer scene. It’s a genuine love letter to local artisans and a testament to the community’s power. Promoting these local products isn’t just a business strategy; it’s a mission.
A Hub for Collaboration and Growth
AlmiBar isn’t content to stand alone. By setting up in Vega Baja—a place with no similar businesses—the gallery has taken on the challenge of fostering growth. Collaboration is the goal. By working together, AlmiBar hopes to turn Vega Baja into a hub where craft beer culture can thrive. Every pour, every connection, and every shared laugh serves as a step toward a bigger vision for the town.
