“Cerveceria Mexicana is doing this through the strategic and calculated expansion of their facility– which when finished will yield the same refreshing, high quality beer product that our aficionados have come to know and love.

“Cerveceria Mexicana is dedicated to upholding the craftsmanship of their premium authentic Mexican craft beers during and after this expansion.

“We, at Drinks Americas, look forward to having the product available to meet market demand and to getting our leading beer brands into the hands and hearts of more adult consumers nationwide and beyond.”
