The Wonderful Words of Beer Draft 8

  • por

Birrote – another nickname for beer in Spanish, based on the borrowed word birra.  The appreciative suffix -ote is often used to indicate something bigger or better than normal, although its origin seems to be from the French diminutive suffix -ot.  In Mexican usage especially the suffix may be related to the Nahuatl -otl (according to Wiktionary, anyway).  The birrote is an especially strong or impressive beer.
