Victoria Beer Honors Posada Calaveras for 2024 Day of the Dead Commemorative

Victoria Beer is one of the oldest Mexican beer brands in Mexico. It traces its roots to 1865 in Toluca, Mexico.This year they are honoring Jose Guadalupe Posada with calavera images modeled after those created over 112 years ago by the master print maker himself. We were honored to have been advisors regarding the images. Posada was know to drink tequila and since Victoria Beer dates back to his time, he might very well have had a Victoria.

It is his creation known now as la Catrina. Has she come to comfort him? Or perhaps this calavera has a bone to pick with him on some hot issues? Real or dream, a debate ensues to a final dance in the grave. It's a work in progress but you can watch what we have so far!
