Casta
Manuel Zambrano Villarreal, a former employee of Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma, brewed for friends until his brother-in-law Mauricio Fernández Garza proposed a company. Casta launched on 8 December 1998 in Dorada, Morena and Bruna versions, and painters including Rodolfo Morales and Francisco Toledo designed its labels; President Ernesto Zedillo opened the brewery in February 1999. FEMSA bought it in 2005 and folded it into Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma, which stopped making it. In 2023 Fernández launched Milarca, a strong abbey-style ale, in its memory.
