This is a well traveled beer that is imported from Mexico into the USA, where it has a popular following, then gets sent around the world to random places in Asia.Considering the beer knocks up more air miles than I do it still manages to hold its own when compared to other Mexican imports such as Corona.
Pacifico Clara has more character than your average lightweight Mexican brew and its bottle boasts a distinctive yellow label that helps it stand out on the shelf and in the bar.
It is a pilsner that has been made at the Cerveceria del Pacifico brewery in Mazatlan, Mexico since 1900 when three Germans launched the beer.
The brewery is now owned by brewing giant Grupo Modelo which in turn is part owned by another giant, Anheuser-Busch.
In terms of taste and quality Pacifico Clara compares favourably with local beers but with only a trickle of supply and such a long delivery route there is no chance of it ever competing with Asia’s beer oligarchs.
