Latest reviews from Ensenada

“Just a bit North of Ensenada. On the Mexico 3, before it Becomes the Mexico 1 again. parking right off the highway near the brewery. Careful as can pass the place pretty easily. Set up is quite cool. All shipping containers stacked together. There is a lower level where the food (basically street food) is and the top level is the tap room with views onto the Pacific Ocean. Good place and feel. If your spanish is not great there is english speaking servers and bartenders so all good. Very knowledgeable on the beer. Food was very good. Tuna tostada was excellent and the mini sliders. Quite cheap tasting sizes and regular pours. Some of the best beers on the trip were here and in pubs that stocked the beer. not a lot of high ABV beer but very well made beer. the Bourbon porter and Mako 2 were excellent. Lots of lower AVB beers, that were really good, and 1 Imperial IPA that was only so so. highly suggested place if can make it there.“

“A unique 200 L German brewing system. They had 3 beers on tap when I was there. An exceptional IPA, a very smooth brown ale and traditional German Hefeweizen. Overall, excellent“

“New brewpub outside Ensenada; first house beers went on in Nov. 2010. We were there a couple of days later and it was completely packed, mostly with Americans (it’s in a neighborhood of retirement and vacation homes). The owner and brewmaster is a homebrewer from San Diego. Only 3 beers for now: a very hoppy English IPA and a German Weizen (both excellent), and a Northern English Brown Ale which wasn’t on when we were there. Food is pizza and pub grub; the pizza was very good. Large, airy building with great views of the bay, a circular bar in the middle, and a stage for live music. The tiny brewhouse looks like an oversized homebrew system with three 240 liter fermenters (homebrewer airlocks bubbling away on top). Not easy to find though. It’s about a 20-30 minute drive from downtown Ensenada depending on traffic. From Highway 1 about 13 km south of downtown, take the exit for Punta Banda and La Bufadora. After another 12 km, look for the brewpub’s small billboard on the right, and turn immediately after that onto a road which leads down the spine of a narrow peninsula pointing north toward Ensenada, with houses on your left and the bay on your right. The first part of the road is unpaved. You’ll pass through two security gates. The first is abandoned. The second one has a guard, but the brewpub is just behind it on the right--tell the guard or just point to the brewpub and he’ll let you through. (Note: the map link in ratebeer is wrong, but entering "Agua Caliente, Banda, Mexico" in Google Maps will get you close.) Well worth a visit. Best craft beer I’ve had in Mexico.“
