Distribution
We brew our beers using only the four traditional ingredients allowed by the oldest brewing traditions: water, malt, yeast, and hops. Their three-barrel system allows them to produce small-batch craft beers that are always fresh and unfiltered, served directly from bright tanks at the brewpub.
In addition, the brewery is committed to sustainability by donating spent grain to a local organic farm, where it is used to bake bread or feed pigs - supporting the local economy and reducing waste.
A Historic Merger: Antigua Brewing Co. & Cerveceria Pantera
In 2022, we made a bold move to expand our vision. We partnered with Luis Escobar, widely recognized as Guatemala's top brewer, and merged our operations with his respected brewery, Cerveceria Pantera. This collaboration brought together the best of both worlds, uniting our passion for unique flavor with his award-winning expertise. This merger has allowed us to craft better beers and become a stronger force in the country's brewing industry.
Building Antigua's Premier Rooftop Brewpub
By 2017, we took our vision to new heights—literally. We installed our first brewing system and opened the doors to our brewpub, claiming one of Antigua’s best rooftops. Our space quickly became the heart of the city's craft beer community, offering 360-degree views of the iconic Santa Catalina Arch, historic colonial streets, and the majestic volcanoes of Fuego, Acatenango, and Agua.

Once Upon A Time...
From Speakeasy to a Movement
Long before we opened our doors in 2015, Antigua Brewing Co. was already a part of Guatemala’s emerging craft beer scene. Our journey started in a small, legendary speakeasy now known as Ulew, a small room where we brewed small, five-gallon batches in what we called "piglets." Our vision was simple: introduce Antigua to the true flavor of handcrafted beer, one vinyl record and one pint at a time. We weren't just opening a bar; we were starting a movement to introduce craft beer in Guatemala.
ABC's History In a Nutshell
Craft Beer. Bold Flavors. Volcano Views.
From Antigua's Rooftops to the Entire Country
Today, our lineup of ABC Originals and Pantera Classics has expanded far beyond our brewpub. We have perfected our recipes and launched our beers in cans, allowing us to bring the original taste of Antigua's craft beer to select bars, restaurants, and retail stores across Guatemala. We are incredibly proud to have our beers available nationwide, but our home will always be here, on the rooftops of Antigua.
We were the first, we remain the original, and we’re just getting started.
