Bali

Bali is the beating heart of Indonesian craft beer. The island is home to the country's most established independent breweries — Island Brewing, Kura Kura Beer, and Beaches Brewing among them — and their beers now define the tap lists at most of Bali's craft bars and an increasing number of venues across the rest of Indonesia. These are Bali-brewed beers designed for the island's climate and its international visitors, and they've built loyal followings among both tourists and long-term residents. A growing number of smaller Balinese and Indonesian producers are adding further depth to what has become the most developed local craft brewing scene in the country.

The craft beer geography runs through several distinct zones. Seminyak and Canggu are the busiest and most accessible, with the highest concentration of venues and a crowd that mixes tourists, digital nomads, and expats. Kerobokan, sitting between the two, is home to some of Bali's most interesting independent bars. Ubud offers a completely different energy — cooler temperatures, spectacular scenery, and a handful of craft bars that attract a more adventurous drinking crowd. Sanur is quieter and residential, with a few solid neighbourhood options. International imports remain available at some venues for those who seek them, but on most tap lists across Bali today, local is leading.
