Dos Equis Lager Especial is brewed in Monterrey, Mexico by Cervecería Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma, a brewery founded in 1890. This is a light, easy-drinking lager with a pilsner-like character—distinct from the typical corn-based Mexican lager.

The beer is golden in colour and crafted from select malts and hops. Its flavour is clean and malt-forward with a dry, crisp finish. It drinks more like a European pale lager than a traditional American adjunct lager.

At 4.5% ABV, it's an approachable beer that stands on its own without lime. The profile is balanced and refreshing, suited to warm weather.
