A Note on This Beer

Nothing says summertime like lounging under a beach umbrella, savoring a spicy street taco, and washing it all down with an ice cold margarita.

Today’s thirst-quenching Fruited Gose, La Puerta de la Bodega, captures that feeling.

The brewmasters at KCBC loaded this masterpiece with two gallons of fresh lime juice and 17 lbs of guava purée per barrel, along with spicy guajillo chiles. Each refreshing sip is like a made-from-scratch guava margarita with chile-infused tequila! The Gose base gives it the essence of a salted rim, while the peppers provide a whisper of spicy heat on the finish.

This lime-a-licious Sour may make you feel like you’re sunbathing on a SoCal beach, but it actually comes from the East Coast crew Thrillist called the Best Brewery in NYC!

Thirsty locals call it “AMAZING” and declare, “Coming back for this beer for sure!”

So, whether you’re loading up a plate of freshly grilled pollo onto a warm, homemade tortilla, or just ordering Chipotle take-out, it deserves a can of La Puerta to go with it. Each succulently fruity sip is like a match made in heaven.

*KCBC won Gold at the 2019 New York Craft Beer Competition!

This beer sends mixed signals. For one it smells like straight up baby shit, I have a 3 month old and the smells match exactly, trust me. But as for the taste (of the beer, not my 3 month olds shit) its actually really good, tastes like limes and guava and the acidity of the limes gives it a tequila like burn on the way down.

Sours just are not my thing i guess. The smell and the taste is not what i want from a beer

I’m all about this beer. I love the chilled sourness, with notes of lime and that subtle bite on the back end. it’s like an unsweetened margarita.

Strong guava flavor from the start, lime and Chile builds through drinking nicely. Was a good beer on a hot day.

Loved this one! The sourness was perfect and the taste was spot on with the guava, lime and hint of spice that hugs your mouth nicely

As usual, KCBC does not disappoint. This is a very good hose, very light, refreshing, drinkable with or without food. Heavy lime and a good sting of chili and salt at the end. Almost a margarita in a can.

Loving the hit of chili that compliments the sour and salty notes.

Guava flavor comes through, with nice added tartness from lime. Barely noticeable spice, but it's there.

So awful, my second sink pour from Tavour, also happened to be from KCBC. This smelled bad to begin with and tasted the same. Was the funk intentional?

Great taste, terrible smell

This was missing a little something and I think it was booze. If this were more like 6% I think it would give it that kick that it’s missing. That said, if you hold a sip in your mouth for a second you really can taste the chile. It does kind of taste like a margarita

Light and slightly tart. Guava heavy on the nose. Guava and lime on the palate with chili burn on the aftertaste. Quite good. Recommended.

Definitely extreme sour, more of a tart taste and distinct smell. Tastes better than it smells.

This gose ale runs 4.5% and boasts aromatics of grapefruit and lime zest! Pours a relaxing orange hue with frothy head retention... sips crisp and tart! Each barrel is made with 2 gallons of fresh lime juice and 17lbs of guava puree! Excellent gose offering for the summer heat! Put down those wine coolers and Coronas and step up to the top level summer refreshers! It's starts right here! 👍🍻 ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫

I was so excited to open LA PUERTA DE LA BODEGA, but so let down by what was actually found inside. It’s really not bad, per se, but it’s just not what was promised behind the “door.”
