In December 2016, we had the opportunity to fly up to Yerevan, Armenia for a few days of holidays.
If you are wondering what the temperature would be like, I can sum it up for you as bone chillingly cold! However, it did have a few microbrewery pubs so we know we could come in from the cold 😉
We started out walking around the Christmas Market, but soon found the wind chill encouraging us to find a haven from the cold.
So our first stop was Wine Republic. While they did not brew their own beer, they had a great food and wine menu.
It also allowed us time to become more oriented towards the other places we wanted to see so that we would not spend a huge amount of time freezing outdoors!
Our second stop was the Beer Academy. They brew their own beers at this location. All of them were interesting to try, but no real stand-outs.
The next stop was called the Green Dragon Distillery. To get to it, you have to enter the Enoteca EVN Wine Bar and Shop. From there, it is located hidden away downstairs in a cozy room. Their home brewed alcohol was seriously potent…and worked to keep the chill at bay!
The final location we visited was a microbrewery pub called Dargett Craft Beer. They brew a number of different style beers.
All were well received and the food to match was also great. In fact, we went back two night in a row to ensure we sampled all the beers on offer. Nothing disappointed!
An honorable mention goes to a great little deli called In Vino. They wine selection was great and they make ham sandwiches to eat while you drink your beverage!
All in all a fabulous city. Looking forward to returning again either in the Fall or Spring and would be happy to give a Winter trip to Yerevan a pass 😉
CHEERS!
