El Modelo de Mayo Limited Edition Beer Kit

The amber beers of the Austrian empire survived in exile thanks to immigrant brewers who brought their craft with them to Mexico. The bottom-fermenting tradition they started left a legacy of continental-inspired lagers still enjoyed on both sides of the border, and this kit is our “Salud” to one of them. Built around a traditional Old World malt backbone that shows facets of caramel and chocolate, and suffused with balanced bitterness and understated noble hop character, Modelo de Mayo pours deep red-amber with a white collar. But wait! The very non-Germanic inclusion of body-lightening adjuncts and a hybrid lager yeast lets the drinker know that ya no estamos en Vienna, hijo. Brew for Cinco de Mayo, but stash a case away to partner with mole or Tex-Mex chili con carne all summer long.
