Every guest ticket includes two drinks at the finale—Balashi beer, Malta, or another non-alcoholic option—so everyone shares in the same celebration. That all-inclusive finish is part of what makes this one of the most enjoyable ways to experience beer tasting in Aruba.
The Ending Feels Like a Beginning
At the end of your tour, you and your group gather around the bar. Music lifts. Color warms. A crisp Balashi arrives, and conversation follows.
This is the tasting room—where the tour ends and the celebration begins. From here, the bar, the shop, and Gloria are all within reach.
About the Tasting Room
Toast Like Locals Do
This is the moment Arubans have been raising a glass to for decades. A freshly poured Balashi arrives, a live host takes the stage, and the whole room toasts together. Salud.
Culture Poured Into Every Sip
Color spills across the walls, music hums in the air, and the room hums with the kind of energy only Aruba produces. Every detail reflects the island’s personality.
The Story Becomes Celebration
One pour in and the room shifts. The cheering starts, the carnival energy kicks in, and for a few minutes, Aruba’s biggest celebration fits inside four walls. This is what beer tasting in Aruba looks like at Balashi.

Gloria
The toast barely settles before Gloria pulls you in. You finish your glass, step a few paces, and suddenly the night stretches wider. The IMAX screen glows at the end of the hall, the smell of stir-fry drifts from P.F. Chang’s, and a barista calls out an order at Starbucks.
Bar
After your toast, the bar becomes the bridge between the Experience and the Aruban night. Cold glasses clink between friends, and conversation leads to new friends.
The Rum Shop
Before the carnival energy of the tasting room, there’s the Rum Shop—a traditional Aruban gathering spot where your first pour is served, and Buchi’s story begins.
Gift Shop
A personalized bottle draws you closer, a shirt reminds you of the warmth still in the room, and a small souvenir sparks a grin you didn’t expect.
Frequently Asked Questions
Photos are welcome at the bar and around the Happy Zone; quick clips are fine in those areas, too. But we recommend saving the cameras for this finale space and letting the earlier rooms stay a surprise for the next guests.
If you’re after souvenirs or a keepsake you can personalize, the Happy Zone makes it easy to add a signature to the memory. Something like a personalized Balashi bottle is a great way to remember your beer tasting in Aruba.
Beer contains gluten, so consider non-alcoholic options or water if that fits you best. Sound and light can feel lively at the finale. But if you prefer a quieter area, choose a spot away from the speakers and take your time. We want to ensure you’re comfortable before the celebration begins, which is exactly how it should be for beer tasting in Aruba.
The Tasting Room is part of the guided experience and follows the same adult-only standards. Please review these Guest Guidelines & House Rules before your visit.
