Trade readers: Santa Monica Brew Works (SMBW) and Manny’s Ultimate Mixes have announced a limited‑edition, ready‑to‑drink Todo Chido Michelada for Cinco de Mayo. According to the press release, the canned cocktail will be sold exclusively at SMBW’s tasting room on May 5 2026.
Because the product is distributed only in‑house, it will not enter the standard wholesale pipeline; distributors and retailers cannot add it to their regular inventory.
Brave Research, which examined current online coverage, found no independent confirmation of this partnership or the planned launch. The absence of a press release or third‑party announcement suggests that the collaboration has yet to be publicly validated outside the original statement.
