Beer in Mexico?

What's Your Favorite Weisse Beer?
I like Hoegaarden, a Belgian Witbier. It has a beautiful off-white color, the light crispness of a wheat beer and a complex, fruity flavor that is distinctly Belgian. It is the perfect drink for a Sunday afternoon.

Help picking a keg
Not sure why you’d say Ommegang’s Witte is fairly strong. It’s only 5.1% ABV. It’s fairly low in alcohol, as are all witbiers, and very quaffable (not to mention insanely food-friendly). The Hennepin is...
