Brues Especial

Our Impression:  Brues Especial is a very elegant lager inspired by the easy drinking lagers brewed by our Mexican friends.  While some craft beer fans look downward upon domestic and export light lagers, we find them fascinating and quite difficult to brew.  The truth is, light lagers are some of the most difficult beers to brew and we’ve found that craft breweries often miss the mark when attempting to brew them.  We took a traditional German approach to brewing this beer (besides the corn!), since Mexican breweries historically brewed with German techniques.  Our goal was to retain as much of the delicate flavor from the pilsner malt and create a beer with fresh character, which is very difficult to retain once packaged into a bottle.  The end result is an extraordinarily drinkable beer with a lighter impression than anything else we are serving.  Personally, we would love to keep this beer around, especially in the hot summertime!
