Montejo
Montejo was launched in 1960 by Cervecería Yucateca in Mérida to mark the brewery's sixtieth anniversary and is named after the city's founder, Francisco de Montejo. Grupo Modelo acquired the brand in 1979, and since 2017 it has again been brewed in Yucatán, at the new Cervecería Yucateca in Hunucmá. It is a light golden lager with a clean aroma of pale malt and grain; the body is light yet rounded, with a soft malt sweetness, little bitterness and a crisp, refreshing finish.
