My job takes me to San Juan quite often. The local beer Madialia Light is not that good.

Here is a link to the only Micro Brewery in PR.
 The OLD Harbor Brewery.

About 8 beers on tab. The brew Master is from Montana moved to Germany to learn brewing. They just popped open an IPA.  beer is quite nice.

They also sell a pale and a porter to "The Brick House" about 5 blocks away good wings.

I have a call in for more info will pass it on.

Old Harbor is great - I especially like their Coqui Pale Ale. Good food too.

Medalla (not Light) is a GREAT American-style lager, and can be found anywhere. You'll have minimal choices otherwise - Heineken is another local favorite. Draft beer is non-existant.

Learn to love the rum. It's ubiquitous, good, and cheap.
Beer is like porn. You can buy it, but it's more fun to make your own.
