The Best Craft Brewery In Mexico (Mexico City) – Last week the Copa Cerveza competition, one of Mexico’s most prestigious beer competitions, took place in the capital city. Baja California’s Wendlandt Cerveceria was named the best large craft brewery Mexico at the annual beer event.
Wendlandt Cerveceria was awarded gold medals at this year’s competition and named Best Large Brewery for the second time according to Mexico News Daily. It was also the sixth consecutive year that the Baja California brewery has taken home multiple medals.
In 2018, Mexican craft breweries produced 15.5% of all the beer in Mexico. Over the past nine years, the industry has become an increasingly important part of the Baja California economy.
One of more than 200 craft breweries in Baja California, Wendlandt Cerveceria, which was founded by Eugenio Romero in 2012, is now the second largest producer of artisanal beer in Mexico.
