Mexicali is literally located in middle of the desert and strangely enough, there are several breweries in full operation.
So far, this is one of the unique place I have visited here.
The place is located in a very unique semi residential area. From the outside, is very easy to miss if you don't look carefully. Is sort of a speakeasy appearance. Once you are in, there is a ample area to sit including open air patio.
They are Brewery and also a Coffee Roaster. A unique combination.
I started with Session IPA (Frida), it was light, a bit fruity and smoothly hoppy flavor perfect for end of the day refreshment. Then I tasted Saison (Marie), nicely flowery, bit citrus with sweet aroma touch. Finally I had the surprise drink. A Golden Stout (Acapulco Gold) this was coffee infused golden stout. Something totally new to my paladar. Since the malt is missing, the coffee flavor does a great combination on this beer with bit of a toffee like touch and light hoppy bitterness. Overall, I was quite impressed by the beer variety this place had and the quality of the brew that reflects the knowledge and care of the brewmaster.
The service here was excellent. I was even introduced to their brewing area and I can say it is pretty well equipped.
I totally recommend this place to stop by during the visit to Mexicali. read more
