Frequently Asked Questions About Mexican beer
What makes Mexican beer different from other beer?
Mexican beer is a broad category, not one single recipe; many familiar examples are light-bodied lagers made in Mexico. Ingredients and flavor vary by brewery, so the country of origin alone does not define a specific taste.
Which Mexican beer brands are the best known?
Corona, Modelo, Pacifico, and Tecate are among the best-known Mexican beer brands internationally. Their beers differ in style and flavor, so “best” comes down to whether you prefer a crisp lager, a fuller taste, or another variety.
Why do people put lime in Mexican beer?
Lime adds a bright, tart flavor and is a familiar way to serve some Mexican beers, especially Corona. It is a serving preference rather than a requirement, and many Mexican beers are enjoyed without citrus.
Is Corona the same as Mexican beer?
No. Corona is one brand of Mexican beer, while Mexican beer refers to beers from many breweries and brands. A question about Mexican beer as a whole cannot be answered from Corona’s ingredients or flavor alone.
What is a michelada made with Mexican beer?
A michelada is a Mexican beer cocktail commonly made with lime juice, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce; some versions include tomato or other seasonings. It is often served in a glass with a salted rim, with ingredients adjusted to taste.
Is Mexican beer usually a lager?
Many widely available Mexican beers are lager-style, but Mexican beer is not a single style. Breweries make different varieties, so check the particular beer’s description rather than assuming every Mexican beer has the same flavor or brewing method.
Why can Mexican beer taste skunky from a clear bottle?
Light can react with compounds from hops and create a skunky aroma in beer. Some Mexican beers come in clear bottles for brand recognition, so keep them away from sunlight and strong light to protect their flavor.
How should Mexican beer be served?
Mexican beer is commonly served chilled, either in its bottle or poured into a glass. A lime wedge is optional, not essential. Avoid leaving the beer out in bright light, which can affect its aroma.
How long does Mexican beer keep after opening?
Opened Mexican beer is best consumed soon, because exposure to air makes it lose carbonation and freshness. You can refrigerate what remains, but it will not stay as fizzy or taste as fresh as a newly opened beer.
Can you drink Mexican beer during pregnancy?
No. Mexican beer contains alcohol, and choosing beer rather than another alcoholic drink does not make it safe during pregnancy. Choose a nonalcoholic alternative and ask your healthcare professional about any personal concerns.

What is Mexican beer?
Mexican beer is a broad term for beer brewed in Mexico, rather than one particular recipe or brand. Many familiar examples are pale, lager-style beers with a light body and a clean, refreshing finish. In Mexico they’re often served very cold, sometimes with a lime wedge or lime and salt; elsewhere, including at home, they pair easily with grilled food, tacos, salty snacks and other boldly seasoned dishes. You can enjoy Mexican beer straight from the bottle or pour it over ice with citrus, depending on your preference.
It contains no fat and has 3.6 g of carbohydrate per 100 g; that amount provides 43 calories. Its easy-drinking character doesn’t mean it’s alcohol-free, so choose a smaller serving if you’d like to keep the occasion lighter.
