We are in the holiday season and what better way to celebrate than with a good beer. That’s why we want to recommend the best Mexican beers for you to enjoy with your family and friends. Any of these seven beers will be ideal for you to enjoy.

Mexico has a long-brewing tradition; it is not for nothing that it is the first country in exporting these beverages. And, according to UNESCO, the country is in sixth place when it comes to beer consumption. On average, a Mexican ingests 62 liters of beer annually.

For this reason, it is not unusual that it even has its own national day (August 3). Although it has already passed, any excuse is a good one to try any of these representative labels. Check out our list of the best Mexican beers and choose your favorite.
