Draft Digest – Aug / 2024 – A Taste of Tradition: Mexican Lager at Five Roads Brewing
Experience the Spirit of Mexico at Five Roads Brewing Co.
At Five Roads Brewing Co., we pride ourselves on blending traditional brewing techniques with innovative flavors, exemplified by our popular Uno Mas Mexican Lager. This beer is not just a drink; it’s a celebration of heritage and craftsmanship. Light in color and body, Uno Mas is inspired by the classic flavors of Corona but with our unique twist, featuring a hint of corn and a refreshing, highly carbonated finish. Best enjoyed with a slice of lime, this beer is perfect for enhancing the vibrant flavors of our in-house tacos and nachos, making every sip a discovery of new tastes.
