All great traditions have to start somewhere. For Cerveza Tecate®, that somewhere is the town of Tecate, Baja California Mexico. Tecate® signature beers have been brewed for over 60 years and continue to soar today. See how Tecate’s® story has unfolded in history.
In 1944, Cervecería Tecate® was officially born. The birth of the brewery brought a welcomed economic renaissance to the town, thanks to founder Alberto Aldrete's uncanny free spirit and rebellious determination. Aldrete perservered against the belief that a brewery could exist in the town, thus paving the way for the brand we know and love today.
Cervecería Tecate® reached international status by beginning exporting to the US in 1947. In the US specifically, Tecate® demand grew rapidly in various states including Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas.
Tecate® launched the first ever "easy open" can in Mexico in 1964, which made a can opener unnecessary to open and enjoy a beer.
Today, Tecate® beer is well known and respected across the globe due to its deep roots in both Mexico and the US. Tecate® continues to honor its true identity and heritage by embracing that it's both de aquí y de allá, with a true Mexican-American taste.
A well balanced bright golden lager beer with a malt crisp flavor, low to medium bitterness that finishes clean. Born on the western bicultural borderland of Baja California, Mexico, TECATE® embodies the unapologetic energy of Mexican-Americans in the USA. We are still proudly brewed in our namesake town of Tecate using the same high-quality recipe since 1944. Tecate Original is a full-bodied lager with a refreshing crisp malt flavor and a pleasant aftertaste – the way a Mexican cerveza should be.
