After Cerveceria Insurgente announced that it would collaborate with Stone Brewery to create a new variety, expectations increased producing an effect that had not been seen in the craft beer scene in Baja California ever before. A week after the beer landed on shelfs in San Diego, Tijuana residents that haven't had a chance to cross and try it at Stone Brewery or a store have investigated where they can find it in select bars in the city, after asking people in online forums or even competing in contests to get a chance to try it. The beer has become a genuine phenomenon, which is why Xocoveza undoubtedly is our Beer of the Week.
Xocoveza is a dark beer, with a light yet contstant head and an aroma spiced with pasilla chile peppers, hints of cinnamon and other flavors. The only complaint is that it might have enough body, or at least not as much as you would expect from a dark beer.

It is celebrations apparent that Cervecería Insurgente keeps getting better and better. By the way, there are rumors that this beer will be on tap this weekend at the reinauguration of the BCB Tasting Room, which means it wouldn't be a bad idea to stop by and see for yourself.
