Although Michelada season may be winding down, in Texas and California, is it ever really over? As autumn has arrived across most of the country, Texas is still in Michelada season. In fact, on October 13th, Fort Worth will host Michelada Festival to celebrate our favorite beer cocktail. So, let’s take a look at what to expect at this year’s Michelada Festival in Fort Worth, TX.
The Beer Sponsor: Estrella Jalisco
You can’t make a Michelada without a good Mexican beer, and Fort Worth’s event will highlight Estrella Jalisco, a pilsner from Guadalajara, Jalisco. With its light, crisp flavor, Estrella Jalisco is the perfect beer for a flavorful Michelada. At 4.5% alcohol, it’s sure to get people in good spirits. Finally, Estrella Jalisco, a popular beer in Mexico’s state of Jalisco, was introduced to the U.S. in 2016.
