Black Rock Mexican Lager – Classic Mexican Cerveza

Black Rock Classic Mexican Cerveza is a light coloured, Mexican style beer with a balanced, crisp, clean finish (Think Corona or Sol). Brew with 1kg Black Rock Liquid Brewing Sugar (or 1kg other sugar) for a crisper finish. For more body, colour and malt flavour, use 1.7kg Black Rock Ultralight unhopped malt extract instead of sugar. Beautiful on a summer's day, ice cold with a slice of lime!

This Classic Mexican Cerveza pours a pale golden colour with an SRM of 3, offering a light and crisp malt profile. The 100% MaltEurop Lager malt provides a clean and refreshing body with a subtle sweetness. The bitterness from NZ Hops Green Bullet™ is mild, contributing to a balanced finish with an IBU of 10. At 4.5% ABV, this Mexican Cerveza is both sessionable and thirst-quenching, making it perfect for a hot summer day, especially when served ice cold with a slice of lime.

Costly, time-consuming all grain processes are not necessary to create quality craft wort at home. Discerning home brewers are always looking to improve their brewing techniques and beer quality. With this in mind, the master brewers at Black Rock have expertly brewed the highest quality fresh wort in a state-of-the-art Krones brewery, using only the finest fresh NZ malt before gently evaporating to 80 brix for your convenience.

For best results, brew Black Rock Classic Mexican Cerveza with Black Rock Unhopped Ultralight & an 11.5g sachet of Fermentis Yeast: SafAle™ US-05.

For a craftier option, try 50g of dry hop at day 6 of fermentation. Suggested hop additions: Galaxy, Citra or NZ Hops Superdelic™.
