Tecate Brewery
Dr. Arturo Guerra #70, Tecate, BC
The canned Tecate brew imported into the states is made in Monterrey— with different water and less alcohol than its Tecate-bottled, spring-water counterpart — so going to the source for a tasting is a must. The behemoth Tecate Brewery lies 40 miles southeast of downtown San Diego and ¾ of a mile southwest of Mexico’s Tecate border. Reserve the free hour-long tour in advance by phone and specify language preference. The tour gets you a free beer from the adjacent beer garden, which is open Monday–Friday, 10am–5pm, and Saturday from 10am–2pm while tour hours are further limited.
