A Note on This Beer

As the crew at KCBC points out, “subway delays are always a lil’ easier with a brown bagged beer.” That’s a fact! Especially if that beer is a crisp, clean, crushable Mexican-style Lager like today’s El Tren Rapido. The name is even Spanish for ‘the fast train!’

Not that we (or KCBC) would EVER endorse skirting open container laws in such a way. Wink wink. 

Fortunately, there are plenty of totally legal places to enjoy this brew! Its flavors of fresh-baked bread crust from toasty Vienna malts, along with a hint of sweetness from flaked corn, create a refreshing base that’ll quench your thirst no matter what you’re doing. 

A touch of bitterness from Magnum Hops balances the floral and herbal flavors from Hallertau and Tettnanger Hops, for a complex character you can sip all day.

Shoveling snow? Grab a can of Rapido and you’ll be on the fast train to refreshment. Frustrated while cleaning the basement? This crisp brew will soothe your nerves with a one-way ticket to organization station! Doing absolutely nothing? That’s what you’re supposed to do while you ride the train!

But, if you’re looking for a ticket to ride, you better not sleep on El Tren Rapido — this stuff moves so fast, you’re liable to miss it altogether.

With Tavour, it's easy to beer it forward! Just head over to Tavour.com/gifts to send a gift box or gift card to the craft beer lover in your life. Cheers!

Looots of flavor for a lighter beer, crisp refined and refreshing. Goes down extremely easy with a light buttery back end

Crisp and tasty. More flavor than a typical Mexican lager with the same crisp finish.

Delicious and refreshing on a 75 degree day in March. A ton of flavor for a lighter beer.

Not much fragrance to it, clean and crisp on the tongue with an early bitterness that quickly fades. Not exceptionally malty but some floral notes for sure.

Ah, this is a great Mexican-style Vienna! It’s not overly hopped, nor is it overly dark. It’s a Goldilocks beer – juuuuust right...
