Aro Rojo is an international beer
competition that annually invites all
breweries from Mexico and the rest of
the world.
Our main and most important goal is to award and certify the quality of
beers that certainly participate in Aro Rojo, as well as being a promotion
and exposition platform that encourages the culture of responsible use of
the best and finest beers.
Participant beers will be evaluated by a carefully selected team of
international judges, giving insights and scores to select the winners of
this competition.
June the 6th to the 10th will be a great week of excitement and hard work
to, also a great opportunity to exchange cultural and beer experiences,
making it a unique and unforgettable happening.
I will take place in Tampico, Mx, at Arenas del Mar Hotel.
