Press Release:
(Placentia, CA) – Or Xata® (pronounced – Or Chawta) is The Bruery’s spring seasonal, based on the traditional beverage, and is on shelves now throughout our distribution network.
The actual horchata beverage is a traditional, sweet, milky drink originating in Spain and Latin America that has become quite popular in Southern California, particularly with Mexican cuisine. Our take on the traditionally non-alcoholic drink is a blonde ale brewed with a heavy dosing of rice, cinnamon and fresh vanilla beans along with lactose for a little extra creamy character. If you didn’t know better, you’d think it was carbonated horchata. The flavor is hard to describe, but for those who know it, you know you love it.
