On your grail list. We'll tell you when it lands.This is the 9th of 9 filings we hold from Mahou. It is one of 24 american lager / light lager labels approved in August 2026. It cleared 22 days after it was filed. It was brewed under contract — FOUNDERS BREWING COMPANY, CANAL STREET BREWING CO., L.L.C. holds the permit, which is ordinary in the register and easy to miss on a shelf.
A circular label dominated by a large red horizontal band across the center, with the brand name "mahou" set in bold sans-serif in white above five white five-pointed stars. The top and bottom thirds are gold, with "CINCO ESTRELLAS" in white capitals curved along the top arc and founding information in small black and white type across the upper third. The lower gold band carries "MAESTRIA CERVECERA" in white capitals curving along the bottom edge, with "THE ICONIC BEER OF MADRID" in small black type and production details in tan. The label presents a clean split-field composition in red, white, and gold.
From the label“Label states 'MAESTRIA CERVECERA' (brewing mastery) and 'THE ICONIC BEER OF MADRID'. The back label describes it as 'CERVEZA FUNDADA POR LOS HIJOS DE CASIMIRO MAHOU' (beer founded by the sons of Casimiro Mahou). Fine print states 'Brewed and Bottled by Founders Brewing Co, Grand Rapids, MI' — indicating contract production in the USA despite the Madrid heritage branding. No explicit style word printed; classified as american_lager based on the standard lager profile, 5.5% ABV, and the regulatory class 901 BEER. The label emphasizes heritage and iconic status rather than hop character or specific substyle markers.”
