There are all kinds of End of the World fun and games to be had in Tierra del Fuego’s Ushuaia - hiking, sailing, kayaking, penguin watching and so on. This is about as breath-takingly beautiful as these sports can get (yes, penguin watching is a sport. probably the best sport ever). And what better way to end a day of physical exertion than enjoying a beer from the world’s southern-most microbrewery (thanks for the tip, Lonely Planet!).
**disclaimer: I know next to nothing about beer, besides the fact that I really like to drink it. So, those of you who are at home making your own beer, cut me some slack if my terminology isn’t up to par.**Cerveza Beagle, is named after the channel on which it's brewed, which is in turn named for the HMS Beagle which Darwin traveled on.
This brewery has 3 different offerings: Rubia-Ale, Negra-Stout and Rojo-India Pale Ale. I’ve been trying to find some information about the brewery itself, but there is very little information to be had on the Internets - the Cerveza Beagle website has been under construction since at least 2007. Asado Argentina, who’s writer is based in Tierra del Fuego has a decent write-up of the Beagle beers (ales?).
In any case, I was impressed with Cerveza Beagle’s offerings. My personal favorite was the Rojo. It was, like, hopsy and yeasty.

Ok, that’s all the beer talk you’ll get out of me.

A well deserved refreshment after your journey! Nice picture!
Wish I was with you to share in the sport of penguin watching;) miss you...Travel on! <3katie
Looks so freaking good!!
I'm trying to find a way to have some Beagle beer shipped to the USA (Atlanta). Is there any way you could assist me with this!?? I would of course reward you for your time + shipping + beer cost. Let me know if this is possible, or if you know of a way I can import this beer. It's a surprise gift for my girlfriend. :)
@Katie: The sport of penguin watching needs an athlete of your caliber. At this point in time we can't offer much of a scholarship, but stay tuned.
@ibelyias: Hi there. I wish I could help you out, but I am no longer in Ushuaia and have not seen it sold anywhere else. I'll keep my eyes peeled though!
