Mexican beer dates back to before the arrival of European conquistadors in America. As in most early societies, Mayas and Aztecs were brewing grain-based alcoholic beverages (primarily from corn) long before the Spanish arrived in Mexico – in addition to pulque, an indigenous fermented drink made from the sap of the agave plant, and the precursor of distilled tequila. But it was the influx of German immigrants and the influence of a brief Habsburg rule over the country in the middle of the 19th century that helped cement the art of brewing as an all-Mexican endeavor. Mexico spent four years under Austro-German emperor Maximilian, who apparently never traveled without his brewmasters. As a result, two of the more popular brands of Mexican beer – Negra Modelo and Dos Equis Ámbar – come from the darker, more malty subset of German lagers known as Vienna style. While not as weighty as most British ales, the Mexican Viennas are fuller bodied with more malt sweetness and character than the pale pilsners. ...more on Wikipedia about "Mexican beer"
