Carta Blanca

Beer Description

Carta Blanca is a historic Mexican pale lager associated with Cervecería Cuauhtémoc and late nineteenth-century brewing heritage. The brand became Heineken-connected through Heineken’s 2010 acquisition of FEMSA Cerveza’s beer operations. As an archive profile, Carta Blanca reflects classic Mexican lager character: pale golden colour, filtered clarity, clean fermentation, soft malt sweetness, restrained bitterness, and crisp drinkability. Within the archive, it preserves one of Mexico’s long-running beer names inside the wider Heineken portfolio.
