A Little Denver Brewery Creates Amazing Mexican Style Lagers

Tomorrow (September 16th) is Mexican Independence Day, the perfect day to celebrate with a cold, crisp Colorado craft beer from Denver's Del Norte Brewing.

Del Norte specializes in Mexican style beers. My favorite is Oracle. It is a wonderful cerveza clara, a light lager with a slightly hoppy taste. Oracle reminds me of Pacifico. You can stick a wedge of lime in it if you want to, but I don't. Oracle is great, just the way it's brewed.

Mañana is the other brew from Del Norte. It is a cerveza oscura, a classic Vienna style lager. It is a darker brew, with a robust, malty taste that is amazing. It may remind you of something like a Negra Modelo, but it is fresher tasting. It doesn't waste time being shipped up from south of the border.

Oracle and Mañana are two really great beers from Denver's Del Norte Brewing. I love them both.

El Grito de Independencia!
