Okcidenta the beer factory opened its doors to the public

For this #beersaturday April 20, I went to visit the most famous craft beer factory in my city. They have been in the market for several years since 2017, providing very high quality beer and incredible flavors to lovers of this drink in the city; This event is the first time I was able to attend and I met him thanks to a friend who unfortunately could not attend because his father is in the hospital and he is taking care of him, luckily he is improving quickly and in a few days he will be discharged.

I went by bicycle because I had no other means of transportation and the public service took a long time to take me, so I took the bicycle and pedaled to the factory, which must have been about 3 kilometers.
When I arrived I was surprised that you had to pay for the drink and not, as the advertisement said, that there would be something to taste, but well, it was misleading advertising and my goal was to discover and drink a different beer.

The factory is highly equipped with a lot of high quality machinery and they have contacts with manufacturers from other countries that helped them grow a lot, at the moment within their services they offer: 40 liter barrels, 330 cc bottles and 1000 cc bottles with barrel-aged beer.
It seemed a little strange to me that they don't sell cans, but it's a good strategy not to sell if your business method is to sell franchises, so the only way to drink somewhere else is if they have a keg or sell bottles.
Oak barrel beer is delicious but very strong so every time I drink one of those I stop drinking more beer right there because I start to feel the effect of the alcohol.

At the store I bought two beers, the first is a black one with a cocoa flavor, with an absurd name in English because the story goes that they tried to explain to a foreigner's wife how to say beef rib in English and the name came up, It is also a collaboration with some manufacturers from Kansas; In my opinion it is one of their best beers because it gently captures the cocoa flavor with a light chocolate aroma ideal for a night of watching a movie.
The other one I tried was a “cold ipa”, this one turned out to be somewhat softer with a pleasant fruity aroma and very delicious on the palate, ideal for drinking a liter alone at home.

Then a friend arrived with whom I shared some fries and a beer and then went to a place that sells beer from the same company 200 meters from the factory.
The last beer I had with a friend is called “La Traidora” and it is barrel-aged with a caramel flavor and 9% alcohol, which makes it the strongest of all the ones they sell. It is the third time I have had it; The previous times I was left dancing alone and happy, now since I shared it and returned by bike it didn't affect my reflexes as much.
