After opening many Taco Bell Cantina locations that serve alcohol, Taco Bell is now introducing its first-ever officially branded Taco Bell beer called 'Beach Bell.'
Beach Bell is a Mexican-style amber lager that was created in a collaboration between Taco Bell’s own culinary chefs and Four Sons Brewing. The beer is said to "enhance and compliment Taco Bell's food and flavors" with its light and crisp taste. Beach Bell will be available for a limited time exclusively at the chain’s newest Cantina location in Newport Beach, California.
Knowing that foodies are looking for interesting eating experiences that approach flavor in a holistic way, many eateries and packaged food brands are suggesting pairings that will elevate familiar foods and beverages.
