BREWERY, KOMBUCHERY & RESTAURANT 

at Hotel Aeropuerto

We are Dirigo Fermentory: a Restaurant, Brewery and Kombuchery

We are a 100% Costa Rican small business. We are very passionate about providing high quality products, using natural ingredients. Our name "Dirigo" comes from Latin and means "I lead". It is the motto of the state of Maine in the US, where we fell in love with craft beer and kombucha. Back in Costa Rica, we want to share our love for ferments and a little bit of the place that inspired us so much. Come join the experience!

We are truly honored to be named a 2023 Travelers’ Choice winner for the second year in a row.
