Cervecería Wendlandt

Eugenio Romero Wendlandt, a home brewer since university, opened Wendlandt as a bar and brewery in central Ensenada on 20 April 2012. Brewing moved to El Sauzal in 2013, and between 2014 and 2019 the brewery added bottling, national distribution, exports to the United States and a canning line. It was named the best brewery in Mexico at Cerveza México in 2015 and 2019. Foca Parlante, its stout, won World Beer Cup bronze in 2023 and silver in 2024. Perro del Mar, an IPA of 7%, leads the range, with Vaquita Marina, a pale ale hopped with American hops, and Harry Polanco, a red ale. Wendlandt has taprooms in Ensenada, Mexicali and Tijuana.
