A Chela beer is a term used to refer to a beer in slang. It is a popular way to refer to beer in certain regions, particularly in Mexico and some parts of Central America. The word “chela” is derived from the Spanish word “cerveza,” which means beer. It is a casual and colloquial term used among friends or in informal settings.
When it comes to describing chela beers, it is important to note that there is a wide variety of styles and flavors available. Just like with wine, there is a beer for every occasion and taste preference. From light and crisp lagers to hoppy and bitter IPAs, there is something for everyone.
At our brewery, we have a diverse selection of chelas on tap, including our flagship chelas that are always available, as well as seasonal beers that change throughout the year. Our goal is to offer a range of options to cater to different palates and preferences.
One of our flagship chelas is our classic Lager. It is a light and refreshing beer, perfect for those hot summer days or when you just want something easy-drinking. It has a clean and crisp flavor profile, with subtle maltiness and a hint of hops. This chela pairs well with a variety of foods and is a crowd-pleaser.
Another popular chela we have is our IPA (India Pale Ale). This beer is known for its hop-forward flavor and higher alcohol content. It has a strong and bitter taste, with citrusy and floral notes. The IPA is a favorite among craft beer enthusiasts who enjoy bold and complex flavors.
For those looking for something different, we also offer seasonal chelas that change with the time of year. These seasonal beers often incorporate seasonal ingredients and flavors to create unique and exciting brews. From pumpkin ales in the fall to fruity and refreshing wheat beers in the summer, our seasonal chelas provide a taste of the season in every sip.
It is worth noting that we also offer gluten-reduced options for those with gluten sensitivities. Our gluten-reduced chelas are brewed using special techniques and ingredients to remove or reduce gluten content while still maintaining great taste and quality. These chelas are a great option for those who want to enjoy a beer without worrying about gluten.
As a sommelier and brewer, I have had the opportunity to taste and learn about a wide range of chelas. Each beer has its own unique characteristics and story. Whether it's a traditional lager, a hoppy IPA, or a seasonal brew, chelas offer a world of flavors and experiences to explore.
So, the next time you're in the mood for a beer, consider trying a chela. With so many styles and flavors to choose from, you're sure to find one that suits your taste and enhances your drinking experience. Cheers!
