What's Up El Salvador

We have exciting news to share! We finalized a major investment partnership with a very strong group of Salvadoran partners to dramatically grow and improve the Brew Revolution for El Tunco and El Salvador. With the new team we can finally expand to meet the crazily increasing demand for our beer both in El Salvador [...]

There are quite a few great places to eat and drink in El Tunco, and it seems, that in spite of the town’s small size, and relaxed atmosphere there are more every month. I can see that the town is growing, and also that there are some built in limitations to how fast, or how [...]

Every USA expat here has probably experienced an initial misunderstanding about what grocery store clerks are talking about when you walk up to the line. It´s the language trouble here, but the cultural one that causes the confusion. “Solo Ticket?” You dont need any Spanish ability at all to figure out what this means in [...]

As you already know we are completely insane. So when we decided to sell everything we owned and move our family to El Salvador you weren’t blindsided.

Tiny things are cute! They are also manageable. I visited the Biscuit Factory based on two recommendations. One from a friend who enjoyed their cup of coffee, and another which recommended the tiny cookies that kids love! It am passing on the tip to you There are little treats that range in price from 10 [...]

I love tropical fruits. When we moved here, I did not realize how many new and different fruits are here to get to know and to grow to love. This is not my first fruit post, but that is because I keep trying new fruits, so there is always more to add. As the seasons [...]

I don´t know the secrets of choosing a cafe location, but I would never personally choose the bottom of a staircase for a coffee cart, in particular a very nice one. But then again, I cannot remember the last time I made a good business decision so…never mind. Bianco Cafe is a tiny little cart, tucked [...]
