Station 26 Brewing Co. 'Salt & Lime' Mexican Lager, Denver, Colorado

Station 26 Brewing Co. 'Salt & Lime' Mexican Lager takes the clean, refreshing framework of a Mexican-style lager in a distinctly citrusy direction. Bright lime-like tartness leads the profile, balanced by a measured salty edge that gives the beer its margarita-inspired character without losing its easy-drinking lager core. At 5.0% ABV, it is crisp, lively, and built for warm-weather drinking.

Sensory:

Fresh and citrus-forward, with tart lime character setting the pace and a light saline accent sharpening the finish. The palate is bright and refreshing, with the salt providing a savory counterpoint to the citrus rather than dominating it. Crisp lager character underneath keeps the profile focused and highly drinkable, while the combination of tangy citrus and subtle salinity gives the beer its playful margarita-like impression.

Producer's Background:

Station 26 Brewing Co. was founded by Justin Baccary in 2013 inside a converted Denver firehouse in the Park Hill neighborhood. The firehouse setting became central to the brewery's identity and its connection to the surrounding community. In 2025, Station 26 joined Colorado-based Wilding Brands, with Baccary remaining involved in leadership of the brewery. Its range spans straightforward lagers and hop-driven beers alongside flavored releases such as Salt & Lime, which applies the brewery's accessible approach to a bright, warm-weather Mexican Lager.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve well chilled, around 38 to 42°F, in a lager glass, tumbler, or straight from the can. Its tart citrus and saline profile makes it particularly suited to tacos, grilled shrimp or fish, ceviche, guacamole, elote, chile-spiced chicken, and other foods with lime, fresh herbs, or moderate heat. It is equally at home as a simple patio or cookout beer when something crisp with an extra flash of citrus is called for.
