It is a refreshing beer with subtle floral notes that will perfectly accompany your next seafood feast, whether in cocktails, aguachiles, or ceviches. Sugoi, a fusion beer This is a pale ale produced by Monstruo de Agua, which has a citrus flavor with a slight honey undertone, followed by herbal bitterness that finishes with notes of ginger and lemon tea. Sugoi is a Japanese word that can be translated in Chilango slang as chidísimo, as its brewers want to acknowledge the Asian ingredients used in Mexico. This refreshing and easy-to-drink beer will pair wonderfully with a tuna tostada, squid in its ink, or a gobernador taco. Cerveza Rrëy White, the refreshing regia Produced by Cerveza Rrëy from Monterrey, this is a White style beer made with orange peel, coriander, and Belgian yeast.
