Juguetes Perdidos has been winning all the plaudits in Latin American beer competitions in recent years, having won a multitude of category awards and Best Brewery in 6 regional shows in just the last 2 years as well as prizes in Europe (UK & Belgium and Japan). They produce a wide variety of beers, some classics, some experimental, mainly focused on IPAs, sours, tripels and porters, but also barrel-aged beers and highly inventive special editions.
Based in Caseros, on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, and with a second brewery in Catalonia, Spain, Juguetes Perdidos take an innovative, modern approach to brewing; they like to get involved in international collaborations and gypsy brewing projects. They have become famous across Latin America as hosts of the Festival de Cervezas Extremos (Extreme Beers Festival) annual invitational event.

US styles – Red Rye IPA, Imperial Red IPA, Double and Imperial IPA, New England IPA, West Coast IPA. British styles – English IPA, Imperial Stout, and German styles – Maibock and Doppelbock. Special editions are highly inventive including Tripel / Imperial IPA blends, Imperial Pastry stouts, Marzen Rauchbier, and Refreshing Gose Tonic.
We tasted their full range and were excited by every single beer. Write to us for full tasting notes. Picking out just 3 of our favourites:
Kill Your IPA – Blend of AK47 Imperial IPA & Belgian-style Tripel, Armagnac-barrel-aged.
Thick head, dark orange hazy, up front with citrus and pine hops, then a more mellow, less bitter finish, still potent but then much more aromatic, finishing with notes of orange marmalade, honey and fine French brandy. A beauty of a beer!
Sour Power – Flanders Sour Red Ale
Deep red ale, wonderful aroma of malt and dark stewed fruit, huge
bubbly body, gorgeous mouthfeel, depths of licorice, kvass, sweet fruit pie and refreshingly sour, so bubbly like champagne, long sweet and sour finish. A beer to lift the spirits on any occasion.
El Matador – 15 ABV Imperial Russian Stout, aged in Buffalo Trace Bourbon Barrels
Billowing caramel head, waft of coconut, brown sugar, mild aromatic coffee and luxurious bourbon biscuit, this beer kisses as it bites and cuddles afterwards. 15 degrees of alcohol, smooth as silk.
Winner of many Gold Medals & Best in Show, world-class beer.
