Congreso Cerveza Mexico 2011

I thought that I would pass this on. The craft beer and homebrewing scene is really expanding in Mexico and I'm looking forward to participating in as much as I can when I travel to Guanajuato this year. This is an exciting time for the Mexican homebrewing movement and if it progresses anything like it has here in the U.S., expect great things to emerge in cerveza de Mexico.

A number of craft breweries have emerged around Mexico, and they will have their wares on display September 1-3 at the World Trade Center in Mexico City during the Congreso Cerveza México 2011: Por La Cerveza Libre festival. You will be able to sample more than 100 beers for a mere $150 pesos/day (with advance registration)! This event is part of the Gourmet Show that happens at the same time/place– check out last year’s pics here to see if it merits a visit.

Included as part of this event is a homebrewing competition. Also, thanks to the blog Midwesterner in Mexico for the above information.
