Turning Wheels is a great brewery in Mabolo, Cebu City, Cebu. Their taps offer some of the best…read moremicrobrew selections in the city - IPA, Pale Ale, Porter, Okell's, Bushy's, Gooseneck, Hooded, Ram... they even have Growlers for your takeaway party. (And sometimes, they offer a delicious sangria - not often, though.) There are a few food choices but mostly, it's about the beer. Follow them on FaceBook to keep up with the selection and events. The place itself is a couple of shipping containers that have been put to unique, creative use. Its rustic appeal satisfies basic brew comfort with outdoor or indoor seating but mostly everyone just sits outside. They definitely have a crew of regulars that are pretty friendly and from all reaches of the globe. The owners and staff are awesome, too. I travel back and forth from San Francisco to Cebu for work and always manage to hit Turning Wheels a few times each trip. It's conveniently located one street over from one of my favorite chicken places, Iamik's Chicken and Beer. :-) And doubly convenient since I sometimes stay in Mabolo Garden Flats (though not this trip...). So anyway, I think you get the point. If you're a craft beer connoisseur and don't need luxury surroundings, Turning Wheels should be on your "Cebu Must Try" list. Say hi to Popper the bulldog or Buddy the brew dog for me! See ya there!

One thing I really appreciated was the volume of the music--it was audible enough to enjoy but low enough that we could hold a comfortable conversation. If you're in Cebu, this place is highly recommended!
