Mexican beer history traces back to the 16th century with Spanish colonization in Veracruz, leading to significant developments like the introduction of lager in the 1890s. Recently established in 2021, Cervezalandia in Sacramento stands out as the nationâs largest specialty shop for Chicano and Mexican brewed beers. Owner Danny Savala was inspired by his travels in Mexico, where he discovered unique brewing practices. The shop not only showcases various Mexican beers but also serves as a cultural landmark amidst the complexities of contemporary societal challenges.
Cervezalandia embodies a century-long evolution of Mexican beer, starting from the 16th century to becoming the largest specialty shop for Chicano and Mexican brews in the U.S.
Danny Savala reflects on his travels in Mexico, saying, 'I remember being blown away, as a Eurocentric American... I started doing my research. Turns out there's a whole movement in the craft beer scene.'
