Visit both breweries, try all twelve beers and keep the special commemorative glass. Commemorative t-shirts are

Michelob Dunkel Weisse is the second of the PR beers I'd received back in August and forgot to write about.

promised in an earlier post I will give a quick review of Potro. This is another Cervecera Mexicana Ex-hacienda Corralejo product that is brewed in Penjamo, in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico http://www.tequilacorralejo.com/ Although Corralejo is primarily a tequilaria, they brew three different beers. Potro, Caballero Aguila and Horus which is a blend of tequila and beer and is 14% abv. Potro (colt) is a dark porter style beer with very little head and low carbonation. The first thing I tasted
