We expanded our menu to include some more casual brew pub style dishes as well as some Mexican options.Before too long Kieran - like a true Irishman and the brew Master - decided he wanted to make his own beer, and in 2013 after an intensive course at the University of California at Davis, began to create his own recipes and research the permits, equipment etc. that we would need to start our own brewery. In November 2014, we presented our first three beers - all 100% made in Loreto - Tombstone Pale Ale, Rattlesnake IPA and El Bandido Stout. 

  The name ‘El Zopilote’ (The Vulture) came to us because many times as we set out on our early morning journey to collect beer from the Baja Brewing Company in Los Cabos, we would see the local Zopilotes going through their morning routine of perching on top of a Cardon cactus, facing the sun, with their wings completely extended to the sides, to warm themselves up for a good day’s vulturing! We thought it was an image that really summed up the Baja, so we named our brewery after them.

Today, we have a more extensive selection of beers which varies slightly with the season.
