Dos Luces Brewery has made its debut at 1236 S. Broadway in Platte Park. Rather than brewing its beers with barley, Dos Luces opts for corn. According to the brewery's website, "Dos Luces" (two lights) represents the shop's two core types of beer, a corn-based Chicha and a corn and maguey-based Pulque.

Visitors can try the Chicha, brewed with malted blue corn, mixed with whole kernels of Peruvian purple corn to give it a distinctive color and flavor. Or, tastthe Pulque: blended maguey nectar brewed with a malted blue corn and a touch of cinnamon and mixed with fruits with spicy, sweet and sour flavors.
