Mexico’s Independence Day is actually September 16. Cinco de Mayo is actually a holiday commerating the victory of the Mexican militia over the French army at The Battle of Puebla in 1862, and is more of a regional celebration in Mexico instead of a national festival. While many have been misled to believe that this holiday is a celebration of Mexican independence, in reality this is not the case. But, you can do better on this minor holiday. Much like many barley and hop-related events, the tendency of bars and festival promoters is to serve up low quality and cheap suds that the masses will chug down with abandon, and without pausing to taste what’s passing their lips. And with the start of May, one of a few beer-centric holidays looms large. If you’re like me, you probably don’t need much of a reason to drink a few beers.
