Tío Rodrigo Cerveza Artesanal Taco Works Lager Review

SLO Brewing Co.’s Tio Rodrigo brand created this, as the can label says, “Tortilla Chip Lager" with Taco Works, a family owned and operated company that’s been churning out mouthwatering tortilla chips for San Luis Obispo residents since 1976. Yes, the beer is actually brewed with their tortilla chips — along with lime zest and natural spices. A whiff of lime on the nose sweeps into a crisp, refreshing lager on the palate with definite tortilla chip flavor on the finish.
