The Amazing World of Mexican Beer

Mexico is home to some of the most interesting and unique beers in the world. For centuries before Europeans first settled into North America people in Mexico have been crafting and perfecting their own art of beer making. It has evolved over time, and today Mexican beer is one of the most popular types of foreign beers.

The first beers in Mexico were developed from the natives in the country. They were especially based from maize corn. This was one of the most common grains in the country and therefore became a useful crop to use in the production of beer.

One of the most unique features of beer in Mexico is that it contains unique ingredients in many cases. For instance, in the early days of Mexico natives brewed a type of beer known as pulque. This was a fermented drink that featured either honey water or aquamiel. This would become known as distilled tequila in today's society.

When more people from Europe began to settle in Mexico unique features of beer that are found in other countries would become more common in beer. A large number of the people who brewed beer at the time were of German descent. This helped to create a darker and a more malt based type of drink.

In the nineteenth century brewing companies in Mexico began to become more common. The advancement of industrialization was what definitely helped to get the brewing of beers in the country to become more popular. In fact, not long after this time Mexican beer became popular in the United States. During the Prohibition era of the 1920s in the United States Mexican beer was very popular to get through exports.

One of the best factors to see in Mexican beer is that of how lime and salt are used in many beers. A slight amount of salt and a lime wedge are generally served in Mexican beers. In fact, michelada is a beverage from Mexico that is popular. This is a light beer with lime juice and hot sauce.

Various different brands of beer from Mexico are now on sale. Corona, which is a light lager, is the most popular of these beers by far. Dos Equis, Tecate and Modelo Especial are among the other popular brands.

Mexican beer is indeed a unique type of beer. It has evolved well over the past few centuries and has many interesting features, including the lime and salt that are used often and the German influences of these drinks. In fact, the world of Mexican beer is continuing to grow as more breweries are being formed and more products are being exported outside of the country. It makes for a type of beer that is interesting and enjoyable.
