Cuba's first brewpub

March 21, 2016

We checked out Cuba's first and only brewpub, called Factoria Plaza Vieja. My hamburger had two giant patties of mystery meat, plus a slice of ham. The beer came in three varieties: light, dark and black. I ordered the black, and it was, well, not good. I also encountered Cuban ketchup! The existence of an establishment like this is a great start.
