Mexican beer / Mexico City

Post by JayBab » Tue Jun 21, 2016 11:19 pm

visiting Mexico City in a few weeks. Though i have low expectations on the micro-brewery scene, anything popular worth visiting? My first time visiting, I'll be with a guide, so I might be limited to touristy areas.

I found quite the opposite, there is are very large craft brewing scene in Mexico. My faves when we were down was Cucapa and Minerva, great beers and they age some large ones in tequilla barrels.

"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.
