At the intersection of art and the love for intoxicating drops of gold, there is a beer that carries the soul of Buenos Aires – where passionate tango steps blend with the story of an artist.

It did not come loudly, but quietly appeared like an abstract painting, with a murky yellow color that aroused curiosity, and the name MOTA – like a mysterious invitation. This is not just a glass of beer, but an invitation to a multidimensional world of emotions, where taste buds and souls travel together. A promise of unprecedented experiences, nurtured by people who dare to breathe art into every drop of craft beer.

1. Astor Birra Brewery & MOTA Beer Line Repair Schedule

1.1. Astor's Journey – From Handicraft Dream to Argentine Legend

In the heart of bustling Buenos Aires, in 2001, a dream named Astor was budding. It was a time when the beer market here was still a “desert” dominated by industrial giants. And then, the artist – Hernán Alonso – bravely planted a seed, with a proud mission: to become a pioneer of the cerveza artesanal (craft beer) wave in his own homeland.

The name Astor It is a song in itself. It is drawn from the name of Alejandro Xul Solar, a multi-talented Argentine master – a poet, a painter, a writer. Perhaps, drawing inspiration from such an artistic soul signals a trademark Not just selling beer, but also selling emotional stories?

Astor’s journey has been a symphony of highs and lows. From a small brewery in 2001, they have grown steadily. By 2009, the doors of a new factory in Barracas had opened, expanding their dreams to turn Buenos Aires into a new mecca of craft beer. And then, in the 2010s, Astor reached legendary status, one of the most influential brands, contributing to completely shaping the face of the domestic craft beer market.

1.2. MOTA – Magical Sharp Note

And then, from that creative brewery, a special brainchild was born: the MOTA beer line, belonging to the style New England IPA. The name MOTA is a mysterious allure in itself. In Argentine slang, it means “grass” – a subtle allusion to the heady, sensual aroma of hops, the scent that makes the heart of beer enthusiasts flutter.

It is estimated that MOTA was born around the end of the 2010s, when the NEIPA fever was raging all over the world. Like an explorer, Astor did not hesitate to bring that trend to his country. Their goal was clear and proud: to conquer the most sophisticated souls, those who always craved for the taste of global trends.

MOTA is more than just a beer; it's a multi-sensory experience. The look opaque It is a tantalizing, misty veil that conceals a paradise of flavours within. And then, the sensory trick is rewarded with a dance of intense tropical fruits on the tongue. It is a seductive statement, an affirmation of Astor’s pioneering position in bringing Argentina’s most modern and experimental styles.

2. MOTA Style – Magical Emotional Sublimation Notes

If compared, MOTA is one New England IPA (NEIPA) A true “wanderer” with a sentimental soul. This style, affectionately known to beer lovers as Hazy IPA or Juicy IPA, does not belong to the world of dry rules. It is a love song, a feast for the senses.

Let's start with the visual, because MOTA is a beautiful illusion. It doesn't have the clear, crisp appearance of its traditional IPA brothers. Instead, it wears a opaque yellow hazy, like a dewy morning, with light ranging from straw yellow to orange-toned amber. The look evokes the image of a glass of fresh fruit juice, immediately promising a different experience.

But don't let that soft exterior fool you. Hidden in every sip of beer is a hidden power with alcohol content up to 8.5%. This is not a breeze, but a warm breath that spreads, embracing the senses, bringing a full and firm body. It is like a passionate lover, gentle but no less intense.

And then, the magic is the blend of power and subtlety. Despite the heavy use of hops, the bitterness here is a mellow harmony, only low to medium. The skillful brewing technique has cleverly retained all the rich aromas, instead of a harsh bitterness. The bitterness does not steal the show, but acts as a gentle bass note supporting the dance of other flavors.
