Indio

Beer Description

Indio is a Mexican dark lager whose roots are tied to Cervecería Cuauhtémoc and late nineteenth-century brewing history. The brand became Heineken-connected through Heineken’s 2010 acquisition of FEMSA Cerveza’s beer operations. As a beer profile, Indio offers amber-brown colour, smooth malt character, caramel notes, and restrained bitterness while remaining clean and drinkable. Within the archive, Indio represents a historic Mexican regional identity that contrasts with lighter international lagers and preserves a maltier side of Mexican beer culture.
