A maximum dose of cones in our hop back, once on the hot and again on the cold side ensures tasty and refreshing juiciness for all to enjoy.

    Yeesh! I like to think about the Tarahumara as I kick back and drink this smooth Mexican lager. It's made from corn, just like their beer, except it's got **FRESH MOTUEKA HOPS** too so it's **DEFINITELY** nicer.

    Settling deeper into my bean bag, luxuriating in the lime and tobacco flavours of this cerveza's hop profile, I picture those guys jogging out across the peaks and valleys of the Sierra Madre. Then later I get up and make nachos.
