If you’re one of those who knew about Mexican drug lords well before Narcos aired on Netflix or one of the unaware ones who became fascinated with the world of drug trafficking after watching the show, I have some interesting news for you!
Alejandrina Guzman, daughter of the infamous imprisoned leader of the Mexican Sinaloa Cartel – Joaquín Archivaldo Guzman Loera, also known as El Chapo – has decided to launch a namesake craft beer – ‘El Chapo’. The beverage will be produced under her company’s brand ‘El Chapo 701’, which was in the news when it launched a clothing line. The brand pays tribute to the year 2019 when the drug lord was listed as the 701st richest person in the world by Forbes.
The artisanal beer, a Mexican lager, is brewed from malt, rice and honey. It will be bottled at 4% ABV, and will be available at bars that keep a stock of other craft beers. Once the beverage receives the required permissions and approval from the Mexican government, it will be rolled out in different regions of the country.
A 355 ml bottle of an El Chapo beer will be available at a price of US $3.75.
Are you excited to taste a brew that is coming from the house of one of the biggest drug lords in the world? Here’s to hoping El Chapo beer reaches the borders of India soon.
