[@nadiamaturano8741]

I had the opportunity to work with aguamiel and pulque for a short period of time, it's an incredible prehispanic fermented product, but it doesn't have a good stability because it has a lot of bacteria (good ones) and yeast that keeps on the fermentation process, if this process goes for too long it changes the flavor of the product also it is very difficult because can get contaminated with other kinds of bacteria, basically it's an art to make good pulque and doesn't last very long. Though I'm glad new generations are keeping it alive. Saludos desde Mexico ❤

[@jaimeayala4231]

You are correct. During the colonial times a big ship called "La Nao de China" went from Acapulco to Manila taking Mexican silver and other products and returning with silk and other Asian merchandise. On the ships many Filipino peasants came settling from Guerrero to Nayarit, at least one of them came to the Old California (Baja California). These settlers brought the tuba tradition. One of my dearest teachers is from Colima and she told me about the tuba made in her state. It's a shame the tradition is disappearing.

[@CarlosGonzalez-lw7cu]

Exactly! Came to say this as well… not all ‘agave’ plants are called maguey! ‘Agave’ is the scientific term for the whole genus (over 200 species!), but in Mexico, maguey specifically refers to certain agaves, especially those used to make pulque. Tequila? That’s blue agave (Agave tequilana), not usually called maguey. Pulque, on the other hand, comes from the much taller and bulkier maguey species like Agave salmiana. So, while all magueys are agaves, not all agaves are magueys-especially when it comes to what’s in your cup. Cheers to knowing the difference!

the problem pulque has is that it is a live drink (like yougurt, it has living things in it that keep working until you drink them), some companies tried to can it but the pulque built pressure in the bottles and made them pop (case of Magueyin), or got stale and tasted godawful like sulphur. actually some of the first train lines in mexico were justified to be able to haul pulque from local haciendas to mexico city or other large populations.

[@MexicoDigDoctor]

This man is young. Before wooden barrels, pulque was fermented in a deer hide. Women were never allowed in the tinacal (vat house) because certain things about them were considered to contaminate the fermentation process. The "poo" that used to be used (and/or rumored to be) in certain varieties was a small bit of baby's excrement from a small baby that was breastfed only. In Prehispanic times, one variety had a stick in it that was said to make it more potent...unfortunately, we have never been able to identify which plant it was from. Even when I was young, kids were given pulque. Clean water was very hard to come by, and pulque didn't give you dissentary.

After I learned about Pulque’s history I had a chance to taste it at a Guelaguetza festival in Los Angeles, then again in Mexico City. I’d drink it every week if I had the chance.

I live in one of the few pulque-producing regions in Mexico and have the fortune of having it fresh near home. Pulque, a fermented drink that in the times of the Aztec empire only the elders, the priests, and the nobles were allowed to drink, will never rival distillates like mezcal or tequila for one very important reason, its fermentation point is so high it makes it impossible to actually bottle. If you leave a closed bottle containing pulque just for a couple of hours, it will literally explode, believe me, it has happened to me. You have to refrigerate it immediately or leave it in open vessels, but it will continue its fermentation process. There is an upsurge of fancy pulquerías for hipsters, but traditional pulquerías have always existed, and both the former and the latter are always located in pulque-producing regions as pulque is extremely hard to transport. That is, you won't find a pulquería in let's say, the Mexican Caribbean, because the Yucatan Peninsula is not an area where agave grows. The only way to actually bottle and distribute pulque would be to find a way to cut the fermentation process, and I would like to see how they can do that. My father was involved in a project to bottle pulque and despite they tried for years, they simply could not find the way.

I love my Mexican people and traditions. For sure one of the most sincerely kind and friendly in the world. And what about those beautiful landscapes from center Mexico, looks just gorgeous! Cheers from Hermosillo, right in the Mexican Sonoran desert.
