18 mins

Episode Description

Mexico exports more beer than any other country in the world but all the well-known brands are owned by just two foreign companies. Luckily, a few hundred craft breweries are working to change that.


In this episode, we travel to Queretaro to learn about Cerveceria Hercules, a craft brewery making “beer-flavored beer” and some “wild” lambic-style beers.


We’ll cover the challenges of brewing beer in Mexico, what it means to make a “fresh” beer, and where to find Mexican craft beer near you.
