Let’s talk about beer. I’m going to keep it real simple. There’s not much that beats a cold one after a hard day at work. And I know you agree, because the buzz even works as an appetite suppressant and lets you squeeze in one more hour of TV before kicking the ball out of the court with your wife and crawling into bed. Not every beer gets me where I want to go though. That’s why I only drink Dos Equis Lager especial. It’s a strong brew with 100 percent yellow barley malt fermented for several days, which gives it its unique flavor and makes it 5 percent alcohol by volume (ABV).

Dos Equis Lager especial is a product of Heineken which today made by Tecate Brewery, Tecate, Baja California. This beer is drunk from the first with a 5.5% alcohol content and 2.6 grams of carbohydrates per 100 ml. Dos Equis was brought to US Mexican markets in 2007, currently available as lager with the same recipe but with a lower percentage of alcohol, 4.5%. This special edition became popular for its campaign “The most interesting man in the world”, aired on TV commercials in Mexico and USA, starring actor Jonathan Goldsmith.

Dos Equis Lager especial uses a set of micro-organisms to transform the beers’ normal aroma and taste. “The secret lies in a unique mixture of four different strains of beer yeast and two varieties of lupin beans from our province,” explained Leonardo Delgado, the master brewer.

Dos Equis Lager Especial is a Mexican pilsner beer that has introduced for the first time in 1933 as Cerveza Especial. Back then it was offered as a seasonal variant which was produced until 1975 when it disappeared from the market for nearly 40 years. In 2009 the brand decided to re-launch this beer as Dos Equis Lager Especial. The label says “Cerveza Más Refrescante”, which means “The most refreshing beer”.

You may be familiar with the Dos Equis “Most Interesting Man” commercial campaign. Whether you are or not, the comparison is an apt one to make in regards to the spirit of this beer: it is strong, it is fierce, and it is unique; but most of all — there is little else like this in the world.

In the past couple of years I have found myself attracted to Dos Equis – a mexican beer. I love the taste, it’s unique and refreshing.

The most interesting man in the world is a personification of Dos Equis beer. The commercials are very funny it made me want to try a bottle from Mexico.
