There’s more to Mexican beer than Corona
By Rocky | March 5, 2008
Tecate is a small city in the Mexican state of Baja California about 40 miles from San Diego and is home to Tecate Beer, -wonder how they come up with that name? Just about everyone thinks just of Corona when they think of Mexican beer and sure its a great beer but there are so many other Mexican beers just as good and many even better, Tecate, Sol and Dos Equis’ XX are just a few others you should try. The Tectate Beer dates back to 1944 when a guy called Alberto Aldete operated a small malt factory in Tecate he brewed a bit of beer on the side and decided to go big time with it. In the mid 1950s the brewery was sold to Cuauhtemoc Moctezuma who now are know for making Superior, Sol and Dos Equis. The Tecate beer is a light pilsner style beer and is the source and pride of Baja California. Try some next time you order a drink with your nachos.
