Pacífico
Pacífico goes back to 1900, when three German immigrants, Jorge Claussen, Germán Evers and Emilio Philippy, opened the Cervecería del Pacífico in the port city of Mazatlán on Mexico's Pacific coast. The label still shows a lifebuoy and an anchor over the Cerro del Crestón lighthouse hill. Cervecería Modelo took over the brewery in 1954, and the beer is still brewed in Mazatlán. Surfers carried it north from Baja California in the 1970s; since 2013 the brand has belonged to AB InBev through Grupo Modelo, while Constellation Brands holds the US rights.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
