I am not a beer expert nor am I even a beer drinker, but we stumbled upon Cueva del Diablo while walking around Mazatlan on foot. The proprietor was busy cleaning the exterior of the place and we asked (in Spanish) if he was open and he answered back in English that yeah, we could come on inside.
Sometimes little happenstance discoveries make life the best, and this is one of them. There's a very small brewery room where beer is made right on the premises. It's not the fanciest of operations, but it works. We opted for a sampler of local beers from regions throughout the country. The portion sizes of the sampler were huge. I had a large bottle of water and our total check was less than $6 U.S.
The guy also popped fresh popcorn for us as a bar snack. The vibe is really cool, with loud Spanish music and an open (practically outdoor) beer garden feel. Instead of a traditional German look, it felt more like a warehouse with rad graffiti and street art all over.
Since it was still early, we were the only folks inside until two older American women wandered in. They came up to the bar where we were quietly enjoying the beer and conversation in Spanish with the man there and loudly yelled out "do you have BELGIAN BEER?!?"
No kidding.
He was so polite and said no, they only had Mexican beer. The ladies were none to happy with this and said something along the lines of "what kind of brewery doesn't have Belgian beer?" and left.
We then all three proceeded to shake our heads, roll our eyes, and poke fun at them. Ridiculing idiots is the universal language that can bring us all together, LOL. read more
