🌍 United States · Mexican Lager · One of 10 Mexican Lagers in hopIQ

One of Us Will Have to Bury the Other is a collaborative Mexican Lager from Asheville, North Carolina's Burial Beer Co. and Brooklyn's Other Half Brewing. It pours a brilliant, pale golden straw with a whisper-thin white head and exceptional clarity. The aroma is clean and inviting, offering delicate notes of crackery malt, light corn sweetness, and a faint floral hop character. On the palate, it is refreshingly light-bodied and crisp, with a smooth, well-attenuated grain base and subtle bitterness that keeps things lively without complexity. The finish is dry, clean, and bracingly refreshing — a testament to restrained lager craftsmanship from two celebrated American craft breweries. Ideal served ice-cold.
