International Beer Day

In Mexico the production of beer comes with the Conquest, historical data reveal that the first beer production company was established in 1542 called Brazeria, although it did not achieve the growth it expected since the population preferred to consume pulque, brandy or cane wine; However, lovers of this drink did not give up and were gradually gaining followers until this drink is one of the most popular in our country.
