A Note on This Beer
When the mid-summer sun hits the sandy beaches and busy streets of Mexico, it’s time to cool off with a spicy-sweet Mangonada — a frozen drink made of mango sorbet and/or freshly frozen mango layered with spicy-sweet tajin (chili-lime salt).
San Antonio’s Weathered Souls — Hop Culture’s Best Brewery of 2020 — teamed up with Monterrey, Mexico’s Cerveza Rrëy to bring this refreshing, south of the border treat to all of us stateside craft fans!
They brewed today’s La Mangonada Fruited Gose with juicy mangoes, chamoy (a spicy sweet dried fruit condiment), and chili-lime Twang salt to give us a true taste of the Mexican Mangonada. And, to kick the tropicality up a notch, they layered in tangy passionfruit and lush pink guava!
Each sip opens with a huge burst of succulent mango, followed by a touch of lime salinity, more tropical fruit flavor, and a hint of chili heat. It’s smoothie-thick too, like a 6% ABV version of a Monterrey Mangonada you’d buy from a street stall vendor on a sultry afternoon.
Imagine you and a cold, frosty pint of La Mangonada on the next hot evening of the year. The sun beats down, but every juicy gulp of this Gose refreshes with a smack of salty-sweetness. How ‘bout picking up a few cans and quenching that thirst?
