For those who want to try the Ivatan Beer, you may have to fly to Batanes to avail the beverage product as there is no plan yet to expand its market.
This was disclosed by Nora T. Garcia, provincial director of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) – Provincial Science and Technology Center (PSTC) during the weekly report of DOST Secretary Fortunato “Boy” T. de la Peña on Friday, April 17.
“The commercialization of the Ivatan beer locally sa Batanes muna (will be first locally available for Batanes) and for our tourists is enough market for our Ivatan Beer, hindi na ‘yung umaasa ng ibang product from other areas kundi sariling atin sa Batanes (so that we will not rely on products from other areas, but we now have our own in Batanes),” she said at the sidelines of de la Peña’s report.
