To kick off this strategy, we approached Escafandra Brewery from Ensenada. Together, we came up with a seasonal beer and a name of great significance for Terra Peninsular and especially for the San Quintín Bay: The Black Brant. The Black Brant (Branta bernicla nigricans) is one of the most characteristic of migratory shorebirds of the San Quintín Bay. Every year, a population of around 30,000 birds flies from their breeding place in Alaska to winter in the Pacific Coast of Baja California. We chose a bourbon porter beer because of its strong flavor and elegant style. It will be available during the winter months –November 2016 to February 2017— to match the presence of the migratory bird in the peninsula. So, wait for it, the Black Brant is coming.
