Discover the Craft Beer Route in Mexicali
Welcome to Mexicali, a city where the desert heat contrasts with the warmth of its people and, of course, the freshness of its excellent beer selection. In recent years, our city has firmly established itself as one of the craft beer capitals in Mexico. If you are planning a visit, exploring the local beer route is a gastronomic and cultural experience you simply cannot miss.
The cradle of the beer movement
Mexicali stands out for the passion of its local brewers, which has led the region's breweries to win numerous national and international awards. As you tour the city's various establishments, you will discover that each taproom has a unique personality. The region's master brewers constantly experiment, offering everything from refreshing, light Blonde Ales—ideal for the local climate—to complex and intense Porters or Stouts with notes of coffee and chocolate.
What to expect on your tour?
To get the most out of this vibrant scene, we suggest keeping the following aspects in mind during your visit:
- Variety of styles: Don't hesitate to order a tasting paddle (sampler) at your first stop. This will allow you to try small portions of different styles before choosing your favorite.
- Unique atmospheres: You will find everything from modern industrial venues to lush beer gardens perfect for relaxing at sunset.
- Local pairing: The gastronomy perfectly accompanies every drink. Many taprooms offer menus specially designed to complement the flavors of their beers, combining traditional street food with gourmet touches.
Tips for your visit
To ensure your experience is fully enjoyable, we suggest planning your transportation using private transport services or designating a driver. Most venues open in the afternoon, making this route the perfect plan to relax and socialize after a day of sightseeing or business meetings.
