Dörcher Bier, the ‘rooftop’ that brings beers and gastronomy from the heart of Pozuzo to Lima

The heart of well was installed in the heart of Larco Avenue and San Martín Street, in Mirafloresand it’s called Dörcher Bier, a restaurant and craft brewery that preserves the tradition gastronomic of its European origins fused with Peruvian creativity.

Pozuzo, this natural paradise of our central jungle was colonized in 1859 by Austro-German immigrants who brought with them their culture and tradition, the same ones that they preserve until today. And in Dorcher Bier They have the purpose of maintaining all the festive atmosphere of Pozuzo, its colors and gastronomy in a single space and for all types of public.

Can you imagine a powerful menu with hamburgers, cheeses, jerky, sausages and ripe bananas? Or some maki stuffed with cecina and bathed in cocona sauce? All this accompanied by some frozen Dörcher, the best and most famous craft beers from Pozuzo, in any of its five presentations (coca, radler, pilsener, wheat and cranberry) and its signature cocktails, are a dream come true in this new space. Miraflores.

“What interests us most is the quality of the beer,” says manager Carlos Mejía. “Selling draft beer does not only consist of connecting the beer to a machine that cools it when it comes out, it is keeping it at an ideal temperature that can range between 0.5° and 3.5° so that it remains stable and does not have alterations or spoil. For that you have to have a cold room like the one we have, therefore the beer is kept at one hundred percent”.

The experience is plenty. Dorcher Bier It has been making its own beer since 2009, when Enzo Egg, its creator, began experimenting in Pozuzo until it reached the perfect flavors of a lager, the same ones that are enjoyed today in each of its beers.

Mejía tells us that the Pozuzo beer plant currently produces around 55,000 liters per month that are distributed to Lima, Pucallpa, Puerto Mayro, Pichanaki, Vrae, Satipo, among other places. In Dörcher Bier, the presentation that has had the greatest reception in the first month of opening is that of cranberry in barrels and bottles, coca is the most consumed by tourists. In addition to the current five presentations, a sixth beer will soon go into distribution, the dunkel, a dark lager with 7% alcohol, with a toasted tone and chocolate flavor.

summer experience

Having an ice-cold craft beer on the Dörcher Bier ‘rooftop’ is a pleasant experience, much more so in summer with the coolness of the Miraflores sunsets, but if you have already tried a mandatory DorcherYou can also have signature cocktails, such as El Charly, based on vodka, rum and pisco, pineapple juice, passion fruit, blueberries and grapes. “I sought to represent the character of the person who inspired him, Carlos Mejía, a cheerful person and at the same time with character,” explains bartender Jeanfranco Cooquis.

Another option is the Pozuzo Lager, a reversal of the classic mojito with mint, white rum, lemon juice and sugar. “In order to unify the flavors, instead of sparkling water I used pilsener,” says Cooquis, referring to the local beer spirit. On the other hand, El Otorongo Porter has almond liqueur, rum, coffee syrup and also porter-style beer, a dark beer with notes of coffee and chocolate.

As part of its signature cocktail menu, you can also find Juancito el dulce, made with mango syrup, pineapple juice and rum, it is a fruity and refreshing cocktail; and, El Gringo, herbal cocktail, with jagermeister and aguaymanto syrup. There are several cocktail options, with beer and without beer, to enjoy.

jungle mix

Regarding the food menu, the chef responsible for merging pozucina cuisine with creativity and local ingredients is Miguel Pareja, who has traveled to this corner of the central jungle on several occasions to become familiar with the flavors.

The dishes are quite varied and represent our jungle and its fusions. For the Jungle Burger, for example, they use a custom mix with 70% beef, 20 strip roast and 10 pork belly. It has buttery cheese, fried ripe plantain, cecina and a sweet cocona sauce with a reduction of cocona with peppers. They use butter brioche bread accompanied by yellow potatoes, sweet potato or yucca.

The one that has quickly become a classic is the Mixed Pozucino: “This is a dish that you would find in Pozuzo, we bring the cured meats and smoked sausages from there and accompany them with fried ripe plantains, fried yucca and cocona chili. It has a touch of ours because instead of charapita we put ají limo that mixes a touch better than onion. It has had a good punch, people like it and they usually ask for a refill”, says Pareja.

Given the reception that makis have in Lima, at Dörcher Bier they wanted to experience a presentation of makis keeping the spirit of the place, that’s why their version of makis is stuffed with cecina, cream cheese and fried ripe plantain accompanied and crowned by our sweet jungle sauce. and the cocona chalaquita. “The cocona reduction is a sauce that has been reduced for about 16 hours because it has an intense fishy flavor, it is sweet and a well-crafted sauce,” says Pareja. The maki dish is decorated with edible flowers.

The possibilities to eat at Dörcher Bier are varied and surprising, in addition to those mentioned it would be impossible to escape from their Ceviche Selva with white fish, tumbo, avocado and patacones, or the traditional puzucinos such as Wiener Schnitzel, a pork milanesa with spatzle (a pasta soft to cream); or the Goulash, which is a tender meat stew with red wine and spices and spatzle. You just need to choose one of the five beer options to accompany this trip through the central jungle and enjoy!
