Bring home the true taste of Mexico with authentic canned micheladas and cervezas

SAN LUIS OBISPO — Ready-to-drink micheladas are now a Cinco de Mayo party staple thanks to California’s Tio Rodrigo. With no mixers and no mess, consumers can celebrate without the fuss of making the classic beer cocktail from scratch.

“We set out to craft the best-canned michelada on the market,” said co-founder Rodney Cegelski. “The secret behind Tio Rodrigo’s unbeatable flavor lies with time and quality ingredients.”

Tangy and spicy, Tio Rodrigo Micheladas pair a refreshing mix of real tomato juice, crisp lime, and natural spices with classic craft beer from the long-standing Central Coast brewery, SLO Brew. Available in two varieties, Original and Mango, Tio Rodrigo micheladas can be enjoyed straight-up or garnished creatively with a chamoy-chili rim, fresh fruit, shrimp, or chicharrones. Joining the core lineup of micheladas, Tio Rodrigo’s new Cerveza Clara is available in the all-new Fiesta 12-pack. The Mexican-style lager is cold fermented with a clean yeast to produce a light and refreshing finish and was recently awarded a 95 point score from Wine Enthusiast.

The celebration doesn’t stop there. Crafted in partnership with Tio Rodrigo and California chip company Taco Works, the world’s first tortilla chip beer is returning to select retailers exclusively for Cinco de Mayo. Brewed from over 400lbs of steaming chips and finished with hints of lime, Taco Works Tortilla Chip Lager has been a fast favorite, previously selling out just two weeks after its release.

Year-round, craft beer outlets and major retailers like Walmart, BevMo!, and Total Wine will be stocking their fridges with Tio Rodrigo Original and Mango 12oz 6-packs and Fiesta Variety 12oz 12-packs throughout California, Arizona, and Texas. For those on the Central Coast, stop by SLO Brew Rock to celebrate on May 5 as Tio Rodrigo kicks off the new releases for Cinco de Mayo.
