Tecate is a municipality on the Baja California peninsula in Mexico wears its’ name on one of Mexico’s most popular beers- Tecate Beer. It is believed that Tecate was the first Mexican beer which was served with a slice of lime and salt- which is now common place with many of the Mexican and new designer Chelada style beers which are currently flooding the market. The beer is brewed at the Cuauhtemoc Moctezuma Brewery which dates back to 1890 and is operated by the brewers who produce other Mexican beers you might have heard of like Dos Equis, Bohemia and Sol. The beer is sold in cans like the picture here taken in downtown Tijuana and in a twist top bottle and it is also sold in a Light variety which has been on the market since 1992.
