Taberna Calacas The Beer Shop

Nos da lo que promete, un estilo muy peculiar en sus paredes que nos regalan una pista del estilo y gusto del Bartender (una persona que ama lo que hace y se nota el gusto por la cerveza).
La variedad es amplia y local (99% de cervezas mexas), si se encuentran en la Portales y tienen un gusto especial por la cerveza y sus diferentes sabores, este es el lugar para ir.

At this beer bar they specialize in Mexican beers. If it ain’t a Mexican brew, it won’t be sold here. Which I enjoy quite a lot, because it gives you the opportunity to explore the many different beers that are brewed in this country. At Calacas they have some of the better-​known brands like Tempus, but the majority of their selection is a more obscure variety of lesser-​known beer brands, like La Riata, Border Psycho and El Portal.
Make sure to check their Facebook page, cause there they publish the promotions they have for that particular night. For example, Wednesdays are always profitable for those arriving by bicycle: 15 percent off of all beers and there’s a handyman who’ll fix you’re bike for free if needed. Fridays are often ‘dark beer Friday’, with 15 percent off of all porters and stouts. The offers vary on a weekly basis (although the ‘bicycle discount’ on Wednesday is a weekly reoccurrence).
I like this place because of the relaxed atmosphere. The owners are very nice and always up for a chat. Furthermore, they really know their beers. Some nights it’ll be pretty quiet and other nights it’s packed, leaving people to drink on the sidewalk. Which leads me to the only downside of this place: it’s small. Which is fine, but it being so small results in very few seats and no space to prepare food (they have special nights when someone comes in to prepare food, but normally they do not offer any snacks). But those are minor details that are totally insignificant to those that like good beer at an affordable price in a friendly environment (spoiler: I’m one of those people!).

Un lugar pequeño pero con un estilo gigante.
En medio de La Portales se encuentra esta pequeña tienda/​baresillo con una carta extensa de cervezas locales.
La decoración es constante y fiel a la mexicanización de la cerveza, los dueños te ayudan a escoger la cerveza perfecta para ti y próximamente tendrán comida.
Algo que me enamoró del lugar, son los eventos que mes con mes arman aquí.
Desde catas con y sin maridaje, hasta platicas de sexualidad, etc…
Los miercoles puedes llevar tu bicicleta a servicio y disfrutar de un buen descuento en la chela de tu preferencia mientras le dan una manita de gato a tu bici.
Definitivamente regresare contento.
