In 2016, Colombia’s oldest rebel group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), signed a landmark peace treaty with the government. For many former combatants, the end of the conflict marked the start of a tough journey back into civilian life.
At La Casa de la Paz (House of Peace) in Bogotá, former guerrillas—most of them women—are trading their uniforms for brewing gear. Here, they’re mastering the art of craft beer, pouring their resilience and hope into every batch. 🍻✨
Brewing is more than a new skill; it’s a path to community, teamwork, and economic opportunity. Each pint tells a story of transformation, showing how creativity can drive social change.
Reporter Michelle Begue visited La Casa de la Paz to hear directly from the women leading this refreshing peace initiative. Their journey from armed struggle to brewing solidarity reminds us that peace is an ongoing craft—one that requires dedication, collaboration, and a dash of innovation. 🌍❤️
