The Baja Brewing Co. is the first brewery in the Mexican state of Baja California Sur. Born in the Baja, with a lot of hard work, Charlie and Jordan Gardenhire opened the doors to a new life at the southern tip of the Baja.
Several years ago, Jordan started brewing beer in his college apartment in Colorado. It took quite a few attempts, but he eventually came up with a beer recipe that everyone agreed was excellent, and his campus popularity grew rapidly. Jordan moved to Los Cabos first in 2004 and Charlie joined him a year later .
Armed with a background in marketing and international tourism and Jordan's status as an accredited brewer and a member of the American Brewers Guild. They both agreed that Baja was their new home as well as the perfect place to brew a great local beer.
The construction of the brewery turned out to be an enormous challenge. Of course, brew tanks and equipment were not available for sale in Mexico, so they had to be trucked down Baja from the States on three 18-wheels trucks.
They were more than worried about the delivery... If there was an accident, or if a piece of equipment vibrated loose from one of the trucks, it could have been completely out of luck. Today, the construction and planning is all over. Thousands of visitors have tried our beers and experienced the first Baja Brewery.
