Modern Mexican Spirit meets New American Craft
MEXICO CALLING
Lager Especial
Some calls are totally worth answering, so kick back and enjoy a Mexican lager brewed with heaps of Vienna malt, subtle hops, and absolutely zero adjuncts. The result is an endlessly refreshing sunny lager with balanced sweetness and light bitterness. Add this to your favorites list.
EL TRAIN
American IPA
Brewed to connect and inspire. We elevated the classic American IPA with a Chicago backbone. Assertive malt character blends with pointed bitterness and floral, piney, and citrus-forward aroma from Chinook, Mosaic, Citra, and Simcoe hops. All aboard the crosstown line!
PALM SHADE
Tropical Pale Ale
Inspired by coastal culture, Palm Shade combines the tropical fruit hop aroma of a modern IPA with the deeply quenching drinkability of a pale ale. Our malt build offers a soft canvas for fruit-forward hops with subtle bitterness and vibrant notes of mandarin orange, mango, and pineapple.

Keep all lines open and flowing
Keep all lines open and flowing is an expression inspired by our crossroads logo; it’s a mantra for making and serving good beer, as well as a reflection of our commitment to sharing and exploring possibilities.
Cruz Blanca makes beers that open people up to new flavors, new ideas, and new experiences. From hoppy Mexican lagers and sunny IPAs that transport us to warmer places, to the less-travelled roads of barrel-aged and wild fermentation ales, there’s always a journey in the beer that keeps us curious about what’s next.
We’re all at the same long table, and there’s always room for one more. Let’s keep all lines open and flowing.
