More About 20Mission Cerveza 

20Mission Cerveza is Medellín’s newest brewery that opened in September 2018 in a huge warehouse space in the Manila barrio of El Poblado.

20Mission Cerveza is not just a new brewery with six types of high-quality beer. It’s also a large venue with a restaurant, bar and a big space for events.

The name 20Mission Cerveza itself is a spin-off of a co-living space in San Francisco called 20Mission, which is situated on the corner of 20th Street and Mission.

The six house beers at 20Mission Cerveza

The Menu at 20Mission Cerveza

20Mission Cerveza currently has six house beers available on tap. The six house beers were made for beer lovers and include Blonde, Pale Ale, IPA, Porter, Witbier and Saison. The also have flights of beers available, where you have the chance to try small samples of four or all six of the beers.

In addition, to the beers on the menu, 20Mission Cerveza has several house cocktails and beer cocktails priced at 15,000 to 18,000 pesos. Also, there are six non-alcoholic drinks available for 6,000 pesos each.

The food on the menu is really good and contains the highest quality ingredients sourced from local providers with sauces made from scratch. The outcome is gastronomic fare without a pretentious environment.

The Chicharron appetizer at 20Mission Cerveza

There are five appetizers on the menu priced at 13,000 to 22,000 pesos. I went to 20Mission Cerveza recently with some friends and we tried two appetizers: the Chicharrones and the cheese platter appetizers. And both appetizers were excellent.

Also, there are three salads on the menu priced at 12,000 to 15,000 pesos.

The BBQ ribs at 20Mission Cerveza

The main entree dishes on the menu are priced at 23,000 to 45,000 pesos. Two of the favorites of the group of friends I went with were the BBQ ribs and the Jerk chicken. And I highly recommend the ribs, which come in two sizes for 27,000 pesos or 45,000 pesos..

Finally, there are three desserts on the menu, each priced at 11,000 pesos.

How to Get to 20Mission Cerveza

The nearest Medellín Metro station is the Poblado station on the A Line. 20Mission Cerveza is located about a 10-minute walk from the metro station.

But we don’t recommend walking after dark unless you are in a group, as the route is though a warehouse/commercial area without many people after dark. To be safe, it’s better to take a taxi from the metro station and it’s only a 5,600-peso minimum fare taxi ride.

Taxis are another option to get 20Mission Cerveza from your location in the metro area. Just provide the driver the address below.
