Como Chanchos, or “Thick as Thieves”, is a special collaboration with our friends @chanchotortilleria. Chancho was the first restaurant that Luppolo sold draught beer to 7 years ago, and we have been como chanchos ever since!
Chancho’s dedication to the quality of their ingredients and their food is exceptional, and we are incredibly excited to highlight that shared commitment in this beer. Como Chanchos is our take on a Mexican-style Dark Lager that incorporates raw and nixtamalized corn native to the Oaxacan region of Mexico which Chancho sources for their tortillas from small, independent farmers who have cultivated maize for millennia.
Made using a cereal mash, gently hopped, and lagered forever, this beer is the perfect mix of a summer crusher and a warming winter lager. We used a blend of different malts to give the beer color and a hint of dark malt character while keeping it very light and easy drinking. We get aromas of fresh corn tortilla, horchata, abuelita’s fried buñuelos and rooibos tea with a medium body and a low but balanced bitterness.

Can, thx Fil for bringing it back from Canada and sharing. Sweetish lean caramelly aroma, low vegetal touches. Dry, vaguely nutty and caramelly taste, lightly herbal, vaguely bitterish. Yeah, this isn't good.

Poured from the tap. Clear chestnut brown with near white head. Toasted malt, mild nuttiness, decent.

6oz pour at brewery. Pours brown with foamy off-white head. Aroma dry malts and chestnuts. Flavour is nutty with roasted malts. Dry finish. It's okay.

Amber-brown, thin head. Bright. Thin, bubbly head. A little biscuity, toasty, a bit of dark malt complexity, a touch of sweetness leading to an off-dry finish.

473mL can, pours a clear amber brown with a medium beige bead. Aroma reveals toasted bready malt, toasted chestnuts and a slight herbaceous character. Flavour is dry, with dry bready malt and a hint of toasted nuts. Dry, malty and smooth, but not particularly exciting even for the style. It's fine.
