Brewery Review: Pescadores Casa Cervecera

Pescadores Casa Cervecera

April, 24th, 2019 - Quintana Roo, Mexico

While planning my trip to Mexico earlier this year, I discovered that just about 15 minutes from my resort was a local Mexican craft brewery. I immediately knew that I was going to have an excursion to check it out at least one day out of my vacation. On the third day of my week-long stay, I called up the concierge and ordered a taxi.

Pescadores Casa Cervecera is located just of the main highway between Cancun and Playa Del Carmen, so its quite easy to access no matter where you are staying. I arrived after lunch, and once inside, I was greeted by a friendly face and a warm welcome. Several locals were drinking; however, we were the only Americans visiting at the time. The bartender noticed my Drink Local shirt and even commented on it asking me where I was from, we exchanged some brief conversation, and she told me how she appreciated us stopping in. Overall the service here was excellent and extremely attentive and personable.

The beer selection here was limited to a few styles, such as an Amber, Blond, Pale Ale, and an IPA; they also had a limited Habanero Ale release available. My favorites had to be the IPA and the Pale Ale Mexicana; however, each beer was smooth and full-flavored. The Habanero Ale was a unique blend of their Blonde Ale with Habanero; initially, it was as smooth as the Blonde Ale but left a bit of heat that lingered.

Pescadores Casa Cervecera lists prices in Pesos; they do accept USD; however, if possible, I recommend using local currency. Foodservice is not available at Pescadores Casa Cervecera. However parked outside, you will find a small food truck called Smoked, which serves some excellent tasting brisket. I highly recommend checking them out while visiting.

Overall I enjoyed my time at Pescadores Casa Cervecera; the beer, food, and atmosphere were all great. I can easily say that I would return on my next trip to Mexico. I enjoyed the beer so much, that once I got back to my resort, I recommended making it available to the guests, even if it was at an additional fee.

Favorite Beer: IPA, although the Pale Ale Mexicana was a close second.

2019: Beer in Review

2019 was quite a year, I visited my first brewery outside of the United States during a trip to Mexico, visited the Great American Beer Festival, and visited my milestone 200th brewery. Over the year, I was able to visit 55 new breweries and sampled over 848 unique beers from 287 different breweries. The Great American Beer Festival in Denver, along with several beer festivals in my hometown of St.Louis helped me sample so many different styles of beers. Despite the massive variety, my most common beer style of the year was likely a toss-up between the many IPA varieties and Saisons, however towards the end of the year, I started to venture more into stouts, which is something I usually have stayed away from. St. Louis, MO (Metro Area) St. Louis is my hometown, so I would make an effort to visit every brewery within the region. I think as of this year I have visited most, but there is always something new opening. St.Louis is easily one of the best beer scenes in the country. ...

2nd Shift Cask Festival - 2020

2nd Shift Cask Festival - 2020 January 19th, 2020 2nd Shift Brewing Company Cask Festival With something going on nearly every weekend, it's hard for St. Louis beer-lovers to get bored during the winter months. For example, this past weekend, I attended my second beer festival of 2020, and it is likely one of my favorites. On Sunday, 2nd Shift Brewing Company held its annual Cask Festival, which brings together a number of their closest friends and some fantastic small-batch beer. For those that are unfamiliar, Cask Festival is a smaller beer festival where 2nd Shift invites their friends to bring small cask just for the festival. During this event, you will likely find variations on existing beers brewed with unique new ingredients or a brand new beer brewed just for the festival; either way, you are in for some exceptional beer choices. One unique thing with this festival is that it allows each attendee a unique opportunity to pour their beer; while sampling...

Brewery Review: Hoof Hearted Brewery & Kitchen (Columbus, OH)

Hoof Hearted Brewery & Kitchen Columbus, OH My second brewery stop in Columbus was an obvious one, how could I resist visiting Hoof Hearted which had recently made their beers available in St.Louis. It was a no brainer to check out their taproom to enjoy some fresh, uniquely brewed beers. After a short Lyft ride from Land-Grant, we arrived at Hoof Hearted, again due to the time (Early afternoon 2-3pm) there taproom/restaurant wasn't overly packed, and that was a good thing as it still allowed us the opportunity to grab a seat at the bar and chat with the bartenders. Honestly, I am not sure where to start here, much like earlier, we went with two flights to try as much as possible, but it was nearly impossible to pick a favorite. However with that being said at the top of my list was "Don't Worry, My Mom Said It's Cool," which was an Imperial Birthday Cake Stout brewed with Astronaut Ice Cream, Cacao Nibs, & Vanilla; it was dessert in a glass (I even...
