You’ll want to add Iron Hill Brewery’s crushable Mexican-style lager, Lemon Cerveza, to your list of summer brews. With a burst of fresh-squeezed lemon & lemon peel, this is a crisp beer perfect for welcoming the outdoor drinking season.

Don’t let the 5% alcohol percentage fool you. If you’re looking for a smooth drinking, yet well-rounded beer, you will enjoy the Lemon Cerveza. It may not have as much punch as other lagers, but it still has plenty of flavor and the lemon is so refreshing! Good for drinking indoors or outdoors, but I definitely see this as a favorite for outdoor BBQs. It paired perfectly with some smoked and grilled baby back ribs.

Pick some up and let me know what you think!

Here is the official press release:

Iron Hill Brewery (Iron Hill) announces the release of Lemon Cerveza (5% ABV), a Mexican-style lager with a burst of fresh-squeezed lemon juice and lemon peel, now available in 12 oz. six-packs at over 700 beer, wine, and liquor retailers throughout New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. This clean lager channels the very best of outdoor drinking season with a refreshing taste.

Lemon Cerveza 6-packs will also be available at all Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant and TapHouse locations on draft and in cans starting May 5th. Enjoy the refreshing lemon notes of Lemon Cerveza by pairing it with light and easy flavors, like the Baja-style Fish Tacos or the Loaded Nacho Burger from Iron Hill’s Burger Month Menu. 

This warm weather beer inspired the turquoise hues and vibrant tropical colors on the can artwork featuring a laid-back beach on an island or Mexican paradise, transporting drinkers to summer from the moment they pick up the can with the bright taste of lemon.

“I originally brewed this beer for my wedding in Mexico as a nod to Mexican cervezas’ light and refreshing taste. Bringing it back in cans in time for summer has been an extraordinary experience,” explains award-winning brewer Pete Corbett. “The strong lemon notes of this lager transport you to relaxing on the beach.”
