Delectable Dark Lagers

This Mexican-Style Beer Promises a Crisply Delicious Drinking Experience

— April 13, 2023 — Lifestyle
The True North Ale Company, an Ipswich, Massachusetts-based craft brewery that is known for producing globally award-winning beers from Boston's North Shore area, has gone ahead and announced the year-round availability of 'Cerveza Negra Mexican Dark Lager,' a beer that is designed to appeal to lovers of the dark lager format that is eminently popular in the U.S.A.'s southern neighbor.

The 'Cerveza Negra Mexican Dark Lager' happens to be brewed with a combination of pilsner, Vienna and caramel Munich malts, with the addition of flaked maize. The use of Saaz and Perle hop varieties adds a delicious character to a beer that has noticeable hints of orange peel and honey notes in addition to a pleasing bread-like character.

This particular dark lager may be a Mexican beer variety but is brewed in the U.S., and comes in at 4.8 percent ABV.
