Koror-brewed lagers and ales served cold to divers and locals alike. Palau’s first microbrewery opened in Koror in the 2000s, on an island otherwise entirely dependent on imported beer.
It is one brewery’s commercial range, and brewing beer at home is licensed or restricted in much of the atlas’s readership.
What goes into it
- malted barley
- hops
- brewing yeast
- water
How it is made
Malt is mashed, the wort boiled with hops, then fermented — cool with lager yeast or warm with ale yeast depending on the style — and conditioned before serving. On a small island every ingredient except the water arrives by ship, which is most of what makes a brewery there notable.
How long it takes: two to four weeks depending on style
How it is eaten
Cold at the brewpub in Koror, after diving.
