Supplied by Heathwick, the four beers from the two breweries are available in 355ml bottles.

The distributor is offering three different beers from Cerveceria de Baja California’s Cucapa range.

4.5% ‘Cucapa Clasica’ features Cascade and Amarillo hops and pairs well with spicy foods or salmon. It was awarded a silver medal winner at 2009 World Beer Championships.

Another 4.5% number, ‘Cucapa Honey Amber Ale’ combines Columbus and Goldings hops with honey. It scooped gold at the World Beer Championships and LA County Fair Beer Competition.

Finally, ‘Cucapa Chupacabras American Pale Ale’ is a 5.8% beer that has a reddish-amber colour, and features Colombus, Chinook and Cascade hops as well as flavours of caramel and malt.

Heathwick is also supplying ‘C5 Saga Spiced Blonde Ale’ from the Cinco de Mayo (C5) brewery, which was founded in 2012.

The 6% golden beer is fruity and fresh with citrus notes, and has a base malt and spiced with orange peel and coriander.

Graham Richardson, general manager at Heathwick, explained:  “The thriving Mexican beer scene is an exciting newcomer to the global craft beer renaissance having gathered pace over the last three years.

“Ever on the look out for the next big trend, we have identified a niche in the UK market for Mexican craft beers after high levels of interest from our customers.

“The two new Mexican breweries we are launching have been carefully selected for their unique, high quality beers and their ability to pair well with foods, particularly Tex-Mex and Mexican style dishes.

“We urge the trade to get behind this exciting opportunity and include Mexican beers in their craft beer line-up.”
