Nothing beats two treats instead of one, and Boquerón Brewing Co. is delivering exactly that with the bottled release of Mar Chiquita Tropical Lager. One of the brewery’s most beloved seasonal beers is officially stepping beyond the tap line and into bottles, making it easier than ever to enjoy across the island.
From Pilot Plant Favorite to Islandwide Release
First brewed in 2018, Mar Chiquita Tropical Lager marked an important milestone for Boquerón Brewing Co. as its first lager style beer. Since its debut, it has been brewed seasonally at the Pilot Plant in Boquerón and poured exclusively on draft. Over the years, it earned a loyal following thanks to its smooth profile, easy drinkability, and unmistakably tropical character.
Now, that same beer is entering a new chapter. Mar Chiquita Tropical Lager is being released in 12 oz bottles, expanding its reach while preserving everything fans already love about it.
A Lager Made for Puerto Rico
Mar Chiquita was always designed with the island in mind. It’s refreshing, approachable, and built for warm days, casual gatherings, and long afternoons that stretch into evening. Bottling this beer makes perfect sense, allowing it to travel beyond the brewery and into everyday Puerto Rican life.
Where You’ll Find It
This bottled release will be available exclusively at hotels, restaurants, and convenience stores throughout Puerto Rico. Whether you’re visiting the island or enjoying a staycation at home, Mar Chiquita Tropical Lager is now easier to find and enjoy wherever the moment calls for it.
Beer Profile: Mar Chiquita Tropical Lager
Mar Chiquita Tropical Lager keeps things simple in the best possible way. The alcohol content stays friendly for any occasion (4.3% ABV), the bitterness remains soft and welcoming (12 IBU’s), and the bright, tropical golden color reflects its sun-soaked inspiration (2.4 SRM). It’s a beer that doesn’t ask for analysis; just good company and a cold bottle.
A Second Bottle, A Bigger Reach
With this second bottled release, Boquerón Brewing Co. continues to expand how Puerto Rican craft beer is experienced across the island. Mar Chiquita Tropical Lager in bottles represents both growth and continuity, bringing a familiar favorite to more places without losing its original spirit.
Open one wherever you are in Puerto Rico, share it with friends, and let it be part of the moment. That’s exactly how Mar Chiquita was meant to be enjoyed.
