Yahoo: "This Changes Everything: Mexican Craft Beer"

I don't know, my luck with tequila as well as Mexican beers is bad.

 

I went out to dinner for my mom's birthday last month to a Mexican restaurant. My girlfriend and I got into a conversation with our waiter about craft beer and small batch tequila. He said it is coming, and Mexicans that have tried US craft want more and more of it. He also gave my girlfriend a list of tequila and mezcal to try when she is down there in April.

 

Heartland Brewery did a Tequila Aged oatmeal stout.

 

Maybe... more Mexican-style stouts? As if we needed more?

 

peyote beer

 

Saw this earlier and thought it was a decent article. But, like pretty much any article Yahoo! posts, the damn title is so dramatic. They like to speak in hyperboles. Changes everything? C'mon...

I've had a tequila barrel-aged beer (forget which one, but I think it was a saison) and was pleasantly surprised.

 

Churroatmeal stout.
Paella IPA

 

Indeed Brewing just did a tequila barrel aged lager - Mexican Cousin… it is very good.

 

sounds awesome!

 

I guess they forgot about these guys, who have been making craft beer since 2006 or so...

And I took a trip to Tijuana about ten years ago and visited a brewpub called Tijuana Brewing Company. A Google search shows no trace of it, so it must have gone out of business.

Oh, and Golden Road Brewing did a tequila-barrel-aged hefeweizen. It was not good. Maybe a stronger beer could stand up to the flavor?

 

Firestone PNC?

 

Mikkeller makes a tequila-barrel aged Imperial Stout: http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/13307/70609/.

Had it a few years ago; thought it was excellent. Would love to see a Mexican brewery take on such a beer.

 

I'm sure there are, and will be some fine Mexican microbreweries, but in general I don't see it becoming a part of their culture like it has become here. I hope it does catch on, my wife is from Mexico, I genuinely appreciate their culture.

 

Flan Pils
Chimichanga Oud Bruin
Queso Fresco Winter Warmer

Totally ISO

 

Actually, these sounds like Dogfish beers

 

Didn't the Bruery make some kind of high abv lime saison they aged in tequila barrels for awhile?

 

Dude, the mango and honey beers from that Baja company sound pretty tasty to me. Would give a fair shot.


I'm a little more hesitant about tequila aged beers. Tequila makes me very angry. And makes me regret it the next morning like nothing else.

 

That would taste awful!
