Xico Mexican Lager

Xico Mexican Lager is Green Man Brewery’s take on a Mexican-style lager, presented as a lighter, sessionable beer intended for easy drinking. The brewery lists Xico on its draft menus and year-round/draft pages, and it’s a regular taproom offering at Green Man. The beer fits into the brewery’s lineup as a refreshing option for long pours or for rotating through draft taps when a clean, uncomplicated lager is called for. What sets Xico apart is its focus on sessionability and crowd-pleasing balance rather than heavy flavor or intense bitterness. As a Mexican-style lager, it aims for a clean malt backbone with restrained hop presence so the beer finishes crisp and easy. That approach makes Xico a go-to choice for pint-after-pint drinking, outdoor gatherings, or pairing with food where the beer should support rather than dominate the plate. On the program side, Xico is part of Green Man’s draft offerings and appears on year-round/draft pages, meaning you’re likely to find it on tap at the brewery’s taproom. It’s also produced in packaging suitable for retail — available in 4-pack 16oz cans — which makes it convenient to take home from the taproom or to bring to casual get-togethers. The combination of draft availability and can packaging reflects a brewery strategy that keeps a session lager accessible both at the bar and for at-home enjoyment. For North Carolina drinkers, Xico is a local option from an established regional brewery, fitting into the state’s active craft beer scene where approachable lagers are sought after alongside more experimental styles. If you’re exploring local pours in NC, Xico offers a clear, easy-drinking counterpoint to hop-forward IPAs and heavier ales. Try it with tacos, grilled seafood, light salads, or simply on its own when a low-maintenance beer is what you want.
