Sol

Beer Description

Sol was born in 1899 when a German master brewer in a small Mexican brewery, "El Salto del Agua," noticed a ray of sunlight illuminating his first batch of an experimental clear-bottled lager. Capturing the independent spirit of post-revolutionary Mexico, it has grown from a local treasure into a global symbol of freedom and positivity. Today, it maintains its authentic heritage while leading the charge toward sustainability as a pioneer in brewing with 100% solar energy.
