Chances are you've enjoyed a Corona beer with a lime wedge on a sunny day at least once. The beer is a staple of the summertime for many, but there are more options if you're in the market for a Mexican lager. Mexican beer is popular in the United States because of the shifting Latinx demographics, as well as the overall light flavor of these brews. And with Cinco de Mayo—the celebration that observes the Mexican Army's victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862—coming up, there's no better time to try out a new lager than for the occasion.
