Cerveceria Aguamala
Good water? Bad water? Mexican culture is big on wordplay, and this is definitely the case with Cerveceria Aguamala. In some Mexican families the skinniest kid might be called Gordo or Gordito (Chunky), while the biggest one may be known as Flaco or Flaca (skinny). Aguamala is created from good water, that is for sure! While the literal translation is “bad water,” as is often the case in some latin influenced cultures, opposite meanings are the key to understanding. Cerveceria Aguamala is muy bien!
Artisanal and craft beers are creating a buzz in Mexico, and for good reason. Cerveza has been produced in Mexico for hundreds of years, yet it is typically just the usual suspects, Corona, Modelo or Pacifico that most people think of when talking about Mexican beers.
It’s time for some new players on the stage: Aguamala is a playful cerveceria which is fast becoming an award winning favorite both in Mexico and abroad.
Cerveceria Aguamala is located in Ensenada, just south of San Diego on the northernmost edge of Baja California. If you haven’t tried their cervezas yet, here is your chance to enjoy an assortment of Mexican iterations of classics.
This current beer of the month release includes four pairs of some delicious Mexican beers, two 4-packs total, in eco-friendly can formats.
Salud!
