What is a girl to do when her best friend, Beckie, comes to visit her in Cambodia? Check out the local breweries of course! Himawari Microbrewery is the 1st and only microbrewery launched by it’s 5-star hotel in Cambodia. Made from the finest malt and hops, the beers crafted here are unique in flavor and of the highest quality. You can also enjoy an idyllic experience outdoors, at the Garden Terrace overlooks the Mekong Delta with stunning views and a fresh breeze.
Himawari Microbrewery’s brewmaster, Neo, has had many years of brewing experience and has designed five exclusive brews, two of which have won international awards. There’s definitely a craft beer for every palate.
Jetlag and beers – great combination.
Here is what we tried:
Apsara Gold – An Australasian-style pale ale brewed using a blend of Nelson Sauvin and Cascade hops. Light and delicate in malt flavor with a distinct hops aroma. This beer is the winner of the International Beer Competition 2013 for the category of Australasian / International Style Pale Ale.
Gem & Jade – A golden ale that showcases the balance of malt and hops flavor. The combination of Pacific Gem and Pacific Jade hops together with five different malts gives this beer its unique profile. This beer is the winner of the Asia Beer Awards 2013 for the category of Pale / Amber Ale. This is hands down my favorite beer at the Himawari Microbrewery.
OatS – A sweet stout that is low in bitterness but robust in oatmeal flavor.
CentenniALE – An American style IPA that highlights Centennial Hops. High in bitterness with residual malt sweetness.
