Are you part of the Balashi Brewery?

The Balashi Beer Experience and the Balashi Brewery share the same roots but serve different purposes. Our brewery is where the craft happens—where malt, hops, and Aruba’s unique water come together to make the beer locals love. The Experience, on the other hand, is a place where you can dive into stories, humor, and traditions that have shaped Balashi’s place in everyday Aruban life. Think of it as two sides of the same coin: one produces the beer, and the other invites you to taste the pride, joy, and culture behind it.

Why is the experience 18+ only?

The Balashi Beer Experience is designed with adults in mind, since tastings are part of the journey. Keeping it 18+ lets us honor Aruba’s traditions of sharing beer responsibly, while creating a relaxed atmosphere that every guest can enjoy.

Is this just a beer museum?

No—it’s much more. Think of it as a cultural attraction with interactive rooms, immersive storytelling, and tastings that make it a living experience, not a static exhibit.

Is there parking at Gloria?

Yes, there is. The Gloria Complex offers plenty of free parking on-site, making it easy to enjoy the Balashi Beer Experience without worrying about finding a spot.

Born of Love
for Aruba

It’s the Balashi Beer Experience: an ode to Aruba itself, right inside the Gloria Entertainment Complex.

This is where Gloria, Aruba, and Balashi come together, and where the island’s story becomes yours to be part of.

More Than Beer, It’s Belonging

Balashi has always been more than a drink. It’s a symbol of what Aruba creates for itself. When locals raise a glass, they taste the pride of having something made from their own island, crafted by their own people.

The Balashi Beer Experience carries that forward. What Arubans have known for decades—that this beer is theirs, made from their island, built into their celebrations—is now something visitors can taste for themselves. One taste, and you’re on track to being a part of the island spirit.

Where Balashi Meets Gloria

Set just inside the Gloria Entertainment Center, Aruba’s hub for food, film, and shopping, the Balashi Beer Experience turns a night out into something worth talking about. When the tour wraps, the story doesn’t stop. It flows straight into Gloria.

Whatever the group decides next, Gloria has it covered. After the tour, the night is yours to shape—grab dinner at P.F. Chang’s or Olive Garden, catch a film on the IMAX screen, or wind down with a Starbucks order. Everything is under one roof, and none of it requires a plan.
