MAZATLÁN BORN IN MAZATLÁN In 1900, three German brewers established Cervecería del Pacifico in the small Mexican port town of Mazatlán. Word of the exceptionally drinkable pilsner-style lager traveled fast. Soon, thirst for Pacifico spread from Sinaloa and up the rugged Baja coastline.

Due to its low alcohol contents, it is easy to drink. However, it still packs a flavor punch - it's loved for its citrus flavor, refreshing taste, and familiar yet delicious vibe. What makes Pacifico Beer a good gift? The approachability of this classic Mexican beer is a big reason this drink is a great gift.

pilsner-style lager Pacifico is a pilsner-style lager with a crisp, refreshing flavor and a touch of grass-citrus and ocean mist. Pacifico is brewed with high-quality ingredients, including premium two-and-six-row barley, the finest variety of hops and special malts roasted through a unique process.

Pacifico is made with filtered water, malted barley, hops, corn and yeast. Its clean and hearty flavor makes Pacifico an exceptionally drinkable lager that s compatible with all types of food, especially seafood.

According to Jim Sabia, Crown Imports' chief marketing officer, 5.5 million cases of Pacifico are sold annually in the United States, over 40 percent of them in California. Crown Imports' goal, he said, is to increase sales to 10 million cases a year within 10 years.

Alcohol content: 4.5 percent. "Clara" means clear, blonde, as opposed to "oscura" (dark). The Pacífico brewery was bought by Mexican brewing giant Grupo Modelo in 1954, which was later acquired by the Belgian-Brazilian Anheuser-Busch InBev company.

The thing that sets Pacifico apart, really, is the gentle body. The crisp, pale lager reveals a surprising sweetness when you take the first sip. Cut it with a squeeze of lime and you have the perfect blend of sweet and sour.
