Craft Beer Near Costa Ballena: 12 Taps, 12 Different Experiences
Malandar Brewing sits in an industrial corner of Rota, a short drive from Costa Ballena, and feels more like a local hangout than a traditional bar. It started as a small, mobile project and has settled into its own brewery space, still run hands-on by the owners, with the focus firmly on brewing rather than presentation.
Behind the bar, you’ll usually find a rotating selection of around a dozen beers on tap — from easy-drinking lagers to more hop-forward IPAs and darker styles like stouts and porters. There’s no kitchen, but that’s part of the setup: people bring their own food or order in, and settle in for a couple of rounds rather than a structured meal.
Less formal than most places you’d visit on a night out, and more about conversation than quick drinks. It works best in the evening, when the space fills with a mix of locals and visitors, and it’s easy to stay longer than planned. For something different from the usual restaurant circuit, it’s well worth the short trip into Rota.discover the local craft beer scene, Malandar Brewing is an easy and very rewarding place to visit.
