About
Aruba’s own lager — Balashi is brewed entirely with purified desalinated seawater, giving it a remarkably clean, crisp taste. Founded in 2000, the Balashi Brewery in Oranjestad now produces several varieties including the flagship Balashi Lager, Chill (extra light), and seasonal specials. Enormously popular with locals and visitors alike, Balashi is the default beer of every beach bar, restaurant, and sunset sail on the island. The brewery offers tours with tastings — a worthwhile stop on any Aruba itinerary.
