Mexican Lagers are often considered basic beers, but are craft Mexican lagers an exception? And more importantly, could you pick them out of a lineup? And while we’re at it, where do you stand on putting fruit in your beer? It's time to take a stand.
Featured Mexican Lagers:
Scout. True Anomaly Brewing, Houston, TX. 7.6% ABV.
Dos Equis Lager. Cerveceria Cuauhtemoc Moctezuma S.A. de C.V. 4.2% ABV
Modelo Especial. Grupo Modelo, Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico. 4.4% ABV.
