Firestone Walker Mezca-Limon (2021) (355ml)

A beer aged in mezcal and bitter barrels with lime peel added. A refreshing, salty and sour taste reminiscent of the Mezcalita cocktail.

Eric, who works as the barrel beer project manager at Firestone Walker, had never forgotten the mezcalita cocktail (a margarita-like cocktail that uses mezcal instead of tequila) that a friend in Mexico introduced him to a few years ago, and had been working on an idea to create a beer inspired by it.

And now, we have finally sourced mezcal barrels from Oaxaca, the holy land of mezcal, to make the production of this beer a reality.

The base beer is brewed using agave, chili peppers, and sea salt.

It is blended with one that has been aged in mezcal barrels and one that has been aged in orange bitters barrels, and finished with lime peel.

The result is a blended beer that perfectly replicates the traditional Mezcarita cocktail!
