Tracing the roots of a very old drink called Xocolatl, we travelled to the land of the Mexica, and inebriated with astonishing landscapes, sky scraping pyramids, and many gods and their legends, we were influenced by this amazing civilization to create a complex, luscious and soothing beer. It blends the smooth properties of the maize, the sweet-bitterness of the cocoa nibs and the incredible kick from the chilies with a delicate dark lager. Like a trip to a distant Mesoamerican past, prior to colonization, where astronomers, using precise mathematics would predict many celestial events, including the feared Total Eclipse. A premonition of the apocalypse? Or maybe, the indication big changes are about to happen? This beer invites you to enjoy the moment, as the future is still untouched, and the only certainty is the “now”, our eternal present, where we shall find happiness and enjoyment. Sit by the beautiful cenote with its deep dark waters, and sip after sip, feel the waves of pure cosmic energy tingling through your soul! As the Aztec would say - “Ma chapultépec ninaalti” (Time to bathe in Chapultepec). When a great weight has been taken off the shoulders, enjoy a swim in the waters of Chapultepec (springs near Tenochtitlan). Smile, strip off, let your hair down, treat yourself to a blessing in the holy waters of the famous spa. Ma ixpāntzinco (cheers)!
Based on iconic Mexican Lagers, our Total Eclipse is a dark lager using maize, cocoa and chilies, only the hops needed to balance the maize and malt sweetness, without interfering with the delicates notes of cocoa and the final sensation of that invigorating chili heat, which upon fading away, invites to another tasteful sip. That feeling of kissing eternity!
