I'm so glad we decided to visit this brewery. Pretty sweet. It's all built in containers. Even the bathrooms are incredible the way they are set up. They did a great job at greeting us, welcoming us, & explaining how everything works with COVID-19 & even provided masks. They bottle the brew even when ordering to-go. It was awesome! One of them popped before we left & they quickly capped it back for us. The IPA was so tasty delicious & if you like ale, the cream ale was really good too (& I don't like Ale). The alcohol content was quite high for the IPA which is always nice & the view alone is worth going back too once everything is reopened. Lastly, that customer service was spot on! Thanks Aqua Mala staff. PS don't forget to ask to purchase a glass beer mug with their logo. Quality.
Alright, first off I don't really drink and beer is usually my last choice, but oh my gawd, you can't not stop here! Not only is it actually really good beer, but made with a care and passion that is unfortunately absent and likely why I don't really like most beer. But even without drinking the place is an amazing mash up of creativity and passion that is worth the stop. And if it is still there check out the terrible porsche 959 "clone" left in the yard nextdoor!
Si buscas un lugar con buen ambiente y excelente variedad de cervezas tienes que darte una vuelta por Agua Mala camino a Ensenada Baja California. Tambien ofrecen diferentes cocteles, pizzas y postres para completar una buena experiencia para compartir con amigos o como en mi caso, pasar un momento super agradable con mi esposo.
We came here part of a tour and WOWOWOW, we will for sure come back. They have beers in America as well and I'm so excited that there's some stores nearby that sell it The cider was amazing All their beers are seriously so good The service is amazing, they didn't rush us, they were kind and have a real passion for what they do They said they do new beers every Tuesday! The place is two stories, they serve food as well. Everything is a nautical vibe and made out of ship parts or shipping containers, the natural light makes this place fun and light, I love the designs they created and honestly we will be back to visit this one! Definitely a must go to!
Great brewery - I ordered one of their gin cocktails and couldn't stop ordering it. My husband got a flight of all their IPAs. It was hard for him to pick which one we wanted a pint of since they were all so good. We have a burger and pizza. The pizza was great and the burger was huge - had potential if the bread was dry, which ultimately changed the overall taste of the burger. Service was pretty good... They were pretty busy so we didn't get a few things - utensils to cut/split the burger, and towards the end, we didn't get a beer we ordered but was charged for it. It took a while to get the check so at that point, we paid quickly bc we needed to head out, and didn't realize it til later. Nonetheless, highly recommend and we will be back!
My favorite Craft haunt in Ensenada. The breweries' built from recycled shipping containers so you can feel environmentally sound well drinking brew. The bar's on the second floor - take the stairs up in middle of the containers - and has a great view of the ocean. Cool Craft tenders (remember to study you copy of the best selling 'Craft Jesus Basic Spanish for Crafters' guide). Brewing's a Baja German/West Coast mash up. Nice change. It's far enough away from downtown that only the occasional cruise shipper turns up. If they try to engage with you, just pretend you only speak Español. Now you're wishing you read the book! Pricing is Ensenada money, around $3 and change for a pint. My Craft Jesus rating a 'fine brew' 78 IBU
Incredible brewery!!! It is a must when we are in Baja California. Our trip doesn't feel complete if we don't come here! The beer: Seems like they have a few new selections when we come, which is great! However, we love Sirena. Definitely a smooth beer and not too hoppy. They also had a Wit Bier, which was really good. The food: The food is insanely good here. We usually get the ceviche, which is fish ceviche with habanero and coconut milk. Don't let the habanero scare you! The coconut milk counteracts with it perfectly. Buttery textured fish and it does not have that overwhelming fish smell or taste. The atmosphere: the small building is made of trailer containers stacked on one another with a nice on the 2nd floor. People of all ages and mixture of locas and tourists here. Music is not super loud and it's kid friendly. Plenty of parking outside. Nice view frkm side windows during the day. Price: Inexpensive place where you'll get a bang for your buck without sacrificing service or quality. Give this place a try next time you're in Baja, you won't regret it!
We had came down last month to the area but didn't stop in. This past Friday, we stopped in and loved the decor. We checked in and they asked if we had reservations and we said no and they said "well let's see what we have, we're kind of busy." They ended up sitting us, maybe 5 min later. The COVID rules are similar to the US...mask, 2 hour max, need to buy food with beer, etc. The server was awesome even though he said the spicy fries weren't spicy but dang they were spicy lol The reason for 3 stars was how we were treated at 9:01pm. 'Apparently, the location closes at 9pm & that means everyone out not they close doors and no longer serve but let patrons finish. 'Manuel' (not sure if that was his name but a guy with a thick dark beard) walked to the table I was at and said, 'We're closing' and I responded 'Oh ok, yeah we'll leave as soon as we finish the beer, we already closed our tab' He responded with 'we close at 9, what time is it now?' I looked at my watch and said '9:01' he said 'exactly, we need to close' at this point I was starting to get heated and my Spanish isn't the best so I knew I wouldn't be able to argue anymore and let him know that is not how you treat paying customers. The waiter came by right after and tried to serve me more water and I did snap at him and said in Spanish, 'why are you doing that? We're getting kicked out anyway' and the poor guy looked at me stunned and walked away. I felt bad afterwards but at the moment I was upset. I'm not 100% on the open container situation in that area but they put the beer in a plastic cup and let us be on our way in the street. I would like to try it again because the beer was good and the decor was cool but they gave preferential treatment to the regulars so if I do go, it'll be under a microscope and have my guard up.
Had a great time recently here. Everything from the tastes of really good beers to a great dining experience with a fusion of Mexican and Asian dishes. We had the Queso fundido, fresh oysters and Asian style New York steak it was to die for! The atmosphere is fun the vibe is casual yet high quality food would love to come back again read more
Found this little gem when we were on our road trip to Ensenada for spring break! It's a must try! Their beer is good, their food is even better and the ambiance is very comfortable. Iker, our server, gave excellent customer service and made some great recommendations. We tried their Sirena and Vieja beers and I think it's safe to say that you can't go wrong with whatever you try on their menu. Their ceviche verde and ceviche negro was fresh and amazing. Their sirloin beef burger patty is made in house and so tasty! My husband had the Rockefeller oysters and those were also very tasty! We will definitely be back for more on our next trip. How could I forget... their blueberry cheesecake & chocolate mousse dessert was also amazing! read more

This brewery is one of the top micro brews in Ensenada, it has such a delicious mix of many different types of beer. You definitely have to bookmark this place on your next stop in Ensenada... The burgers that came out of the kitchen looked juicy, but sadly I was to stuffed to order one. read more

Better food than other breweries in the area and really great drinks. The space was adorable, they had heaters since it was chilly, and the service was fast and attentive. read more

I absolutely love this place! Everything about it is 100%!! It's a little trendy spot, very hipster vibes to it. The people are super cool; great service! The food is just amazing it's so simple yet has such a unique taste to it. I been pending this review for a while now and I'm definitely coming back every time we're down there. This is the place to come and if you like beer definitely ask what's the beer trending. Shoutout to manager as well! She's so rad! read more

Cool little concept they have going on here, the containers, decor and great vibe. It can get a little pack because the place is small but it's worth the wait. Bartenders are super busy most of the time But they are very helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this place for a beer or two and a social media selfie read more

Great beer! I even had a super solid Japanese lager... in Mexico, who could have thought! Wonderful service and they were very accommodating to my gf and I who speak very little Spanish. The negro ceviche was the best ceviche I've had in Mexico. Can't wait to come back read more

This place has bad service. The waiter told rhe kitchen was closed. We asked another waiter that wasn't ours and he says its open for another 30 minutes. Also, not all the heaters work. Limited alcohol. No real mixed drinks. The pros: good DJ. read more

This was my 2nd favorite of the breweries in Ensenada. Ok, maybe it can be tied for 1st... Arrived here on a busy Friday night. Parking was a bit of a headache, as there are few spots to be found along the wide, gravel shoulder along the busy highway. They do employ a gentleman that acts as an attendant to help you squeeze into some space with your car, so that is a nice touch. The building itself is built out of old shipping containers, which makes for a funky, industrial vibe. The space inside is tight but not overwhelming. I was able to find a nice table to fit me and the 2 others I was meeting. Quickly, a server came over to welcome me and offer the beer list and a menu of the tapas food options they have. As for the beer, I ordered a flight and the server made sure to explain every beer on the flight when he arrived with it. They were all quite good. Nice mix of IPAs and other ales. Overall, a great place to enjoy good beer and converse with people. I will definitely be back! read more

This place rocks! It is made out of shipping containers with a nice mural of a mermaid & some sea creatures. You can sit upstairs & look at the ocean while having some really great beer & food. The 'Sirena' was delicious, the oysters were so fresh & the service was really fast. We had two beers, 6 oysters & some ceviche for just $13 how can you beat that?! read more

Super cool cerveceria! Went here when they had Tacos La Avioneta there. It was a perfect pairing. We sat on the coveted patio which has a view of the ocean. The place has a modern artistic look with shipping containers covered in colorful murals. The staff was fun & helpful. Beer was good and potent. Tacos were great! Really fun Saturday! read more

The coolest little brewery made out of containers! These guys were cool and really friendly! We had a group of 8 and they wined us and dined us till midnight! We ordered pretty much everything but the oysters really stood out to me, the were fresh cold and refreshing. They have about 6 different beers on tap from a Pilsner, Belgian ale, stout and a damn good IPA. I love the vibe here, it gives me a swanky hipster vibe! This is a must, if your in the area! read more
