Our latest Brewhouse Rarities release, Agave Cerveza, is the artisanal answer to the easy-drinking, light-bodied beers typically produced south of the border.

Flaked maize makes up one third of the malt bill and highlights the distinctive corn and cracker flavor typically found in Mexican lagers. The agave is added at the end of the boil and lime peel post-fermentation to impart a distinctively zesty character and a crisp, clean finish.

And if sticking a lime in it is how you like it, go right ahead.

Here are the vitals:

• 4.3% ABV
• 20 IBU
• Specialty malts: Bon Munich, Flaked Maize
• Hops: Hallertau, Saaz
• Specialty ingredients: Agave nectar, lime peel
• Availability: On draft and in 6-packs June through July in the mid-Atlantic

We're releasing Agave Cerveza next Tuesday at the brewery. Reservations are free and strongly encouraged to guarantee you get in. Our 6-8 pm tasting session is already booked solid, but we still have spots available from 4 to 6 pm. Click here to make a reservation for the 4-6 pm tasting session.
