In this Convert Beers column, I introduce gateway styles of beer that might help convert drinkers to craft beer. So without further ado, I give you the Mexican-style lager.
Think Corona, Dos Equis, and Pacifico—blonde or amber in color, light-bodied, and very light on the hops. Mexican-style lagers are clean, crisp, and thirst-quenching. They practically scream for a slice of lime. In recent years, American brewers have wanted in on the Mexican-style lager fun and have begun brewing their own versions of this style. These Mexican-style lagers are bound to satisfy the industrial lager lovers in your life and could even convince them to go craft.
