Beer is a drink that has become deeply rooted in Mexican culture. Its versatility allows it to adapt to any situation: a gathering with friends, pairing with a unique dish, or, of course, celebrating a special occasion. True lovers of this fermented beverage know it's not just meant to numb the senses; on the contrary, it serves to enhance flavors and enrich the experiences it is a part of. 25 and 26 April, the Jardín Juárez will host the MXPDX: Fiesta de la Cerveza, a festival that will gather over 30 craft breweries from Mexico and Oregon in Mexico City. On both days, the event will run from 11:00 to 19:00, a wide window to calmly explore the labels of your interest. During the festival, it will be possible to explore different stands and taste styles ranging from refreshing lagers and aromatic pale ales to intense IPAs, dark stouts, and experimental proposals that rarely coincide at the same bar. The proposal is designed to discover everything from the most traditional to the most cutting-edge, all guided by master brewers. The dynamic is simple and highly satisfying for the curious: walk, taste, and discover through the palate everything that craft beer has to offer. Among the participating Mexican breweries, Hércules, Cru Cru, Monstruo de Agua, Santa Sabina, Falling Piano Brewing Co., and Principia stand out, accompanied by 15 guests from Oregon, one of the most influential regions in the world in the craft movement. You can purchase your tickets on the official event website or through Eventbrite; the ticket includes a special edition glass and one beer inside the venue. 5 styles you can try: 1. Cru Cru's Lager: Refreshing, light, and perfect to start the tour without rushing. 2. Hércules' IPA: If you like hops, this is your choice: intense, aromatic, and one of the favorites of the craft movement. 3. Principia or Santa Sabina's Pale Ale: Aromatic, balanced, and easy to drink. 4. Falling Piano Brewing Co.'s Experimental: Made especially for the curious: creative recipes and styles that always surprise. 5. Monstruo de Agua's Stout: Dark, with notes of coffee and cocoa, and very characterful. The ideal option to close the day.
