For the first time ever, award-winning craft beer from Four Corners Brewing Co. will be available outside of Texas, capitalizing on the growing popularity of traditional Mexican import beers and demand for craft brews. Four Corners Brewing Co.'s creations are being introduced to Southern California, including the flagship El Chingón IPA and the all-new El Grito Lager.
The brewery's craft beers boldly celebrate a Mexican-American bicultural heritage and feature colorful lotería-inspired branding. While El Chingón IPA boasts 7.3% ABV and a malt-forward flavor profile, El Grito Lager is said to "[balance] a traditional pilsner malt with Huell Melon hops, which add hints of citrus notes and a slight floral aroma," with a lower ABV of 4.4% that's light, crisp, sessionable and ideal for enjoying in the sunny California weather.
