Clean, crisp, refreshing — the Mexican Cerveza is one of the world’s most popular beer styles for good reason. This kit uses Mangrove Jack’s Californian Lager Yeast at an ideal fermentation temperature of 18–20°C to achieve the ultra-clean, light-bodied character that defines the style. Lightly hopped with mild pine resin and subtle fruit bitterness, it pours a beautiful light golden yellow with a bright, frothy white head. Serve it cold — with a squeeze of lemon or lime if you’re in the mood — and it’s hard to think of a more refreshing beer for a warm day. This is an approachable, easy-drinking beer that virtually everyone enjoys.

Why this cerveza kit is so popular

Mexican-style lagers have a universal appeal that crosses over between casual drinkers and dedicated home brewers. The style is deceptively difficult to brew commercially — any off-flavour has nowhere to hide in such a clean, delicate beer — but the Californian Lager Yeast in this kit is specifically designed to ferment at ale temperatures while producing the clean, crisp lager character the style demands. It’s one of those kits that consistently surprises people with how accurate the result is.
