One of Sucre’s most innovative microbreweries is Cerveceria Vicos.
Founded in 2011, Cerveceria Vicos are famous for their coca leaf beer, but also have three other beers on offer:
- Ch’ama – meaning “strength” in Aymara, ch’ama (5%)is brewed using coca leaves.
- Colorado – a 5% beer brewed with cactus seed (airampo).
- Kusa – a honey beer (5%)
- Chuqi – a beer brewed from quinoa (3.5%)
The beers are packaged with some of the most colorful, dizzying labels around.
Sucre Life Quick Tip:
As voted the best way to travel around Bolivia and Peru, we highly recommend choosing Bolivia Hop as your means of transport. Their safe, flexible and trustworthy service have proven to be the best way of getting the most out of your time in South America!
The Ch’ama coca beer is now on sale in Cafe Florin. The others are a bit hard to come by, however. I’m still trying to track down somewhere that sells them in Sucre. Let us know in the comments if you spot these beers on sale.
As Yuval points out in the comments, you can find Vicos beers in Kalakitas Restaurant, La Paz, and in San Juan de Rosario.
