La Roma Brewing

A very nice brewery and restaurant that offers a selection of beers on draft but also an insane selection of rare beers from the US (think of stuff like Tree House, Trillium, Fidens, etc) out of a fridge at the back. Gotta check it out.

I visited La Roma Brewing while in CDMX a couple of weeks back. They've got a small, welcoming taproom with a clean industrial look and lots of brick, concrete and wood. It looks new and hip, and was relatively full on the night we were there.

When I was there, they had 12 of their beers on tap plus 9 guest beers, demonstrating a wide variety of styles. Several of the guest beers are listed as Escollo, which appears to be an affiliated business that they share a building with -- I wasn't able to totally untangle this relationship.

I had a taster flight; the kellerbier was very good, and the Belgian table beer was rock solid! The Start Party and Cosmic Punch IPAs were decent, if not outstanding, and the stout I had was probably the weakest link here. But man -- it was great to even see a Belgian table beer here, and being delicious was just icing on the cake!

Service is good in the taproom and our server spoke enough English to make things easier on us. We had a couple snack items including a Oaxacan tlayuda, which was very tasty indeed.
