WHALE TAIL
BREWERY
European By Tradition
Costa Rican By Nature
Crafting the perfect pint is our passion because, well, we love a damn good beer — and we brew what we want to drink.
That’s why we push the boundaries of traditional brewing, fusing time-honored European-style brews with exotic Costa Rican flavors. Our brewmaster personally sources our malts straight from Germany’s highest-quality providers and selects only the finest ingredients. The result? Memorable beers with unique identities, strengths, and bodies.
Our Uvita Brew Pub is the heart of Whale Tail Hotel, a dynamic space where you can mingle with the local community, connect with travelers at an exciting roundup of weekly events, and savor a refreshing pint of our award-winning brews.

Meet the Brewmaster
Our story begins across the Atlantic, in the mountainous region of Abruzzo, Italy, where our beloved brewmaster Gian Michelle Pace was born and raised. Perhaps surprisingly, Uvita and Abruzzo share many similarities. Both are spectacularly verdant. Both have distinctive laid-back vibes. And, most importantly, both are coastal areas where locals have a passion for damn good beer.
Perhaps these striking parallels explain why one trip to Uvita was all it took for Gian to envision a jungle microbrewery. Upon returning to Italy, Gian shipped his brewing equipment over 6,000 miles to the small jungle town of Uvita — and Whale Tail Brewery was born.
Gian takes great pride in leading the production of our award-winning beers, which blend time-honored European traditions with vibrant Costa Rican ingredients to create handcrafted brews that push the boundaries of style and flavor. Stop by our brew pub to meet the brewmaster himself — we look forward to raising a glass with you!
«Our Brewery was born from the love we have for craft beer! This same love is reflected in every beer we make.»
