After spending a few days in Aruba, you might notice a unique brand of beer served at every bar and restaurant on the island. Balashi, Arubas favorite local brew, is one of the most popular products produced in Aruba. Starting small just ten years ago, the Balashi Brewery has grown into one of the worlds most acclaimed beers. Meanwhile, the Balashi Brewery has constructed a truly state of the art facility complete with a European-style beer garden that has quickly become a favorite destination for traveling families and locals alike.
As the island of Aruba retains much of its Dutch colonial charm, it makes sense that Balashi has always been produced using the finest European brewing traditions. Klaus Eckert, the renowed German brewmaster, experimented with brews during Balashis early days, eventually developing the brewerys signature beer. The resultant variety of pilsner exhibits a deep golden hue, minimal bitterness and the distinct aroma of fresh hops. The world-class taste of Balashi is created using hand-selected Scottish malt and German hops, allowing the beer to compete with Europes finest brews year in and year out.
