It was first brewed in 1900 when three Germans, Jorge Claussen, Germán Evers and Emilio Radostits opened a brewery,{{cite web |last1=Luis |first1=Gomez |title=Historia de la Cerveza en Mexico |url=http://www.cervezacasera.com.mx |accessdate=2009-11-21}} the Cerveceria del Pacífico, in Mazatlán.{{Cite web|url=https://discoverpacifico.com/|title=DiscoverPacifico.com|website=discoverpacifico.com}} Its label includes a picture depicting a lifesaver encircling a ship's anchor superimposed over the port's lighthouse hill, known locally as "Cerro del Crestón."{{Cite web|url=https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/75/2755/|title=Cerveza Pacifico Clara | Grupo Modelo S.A. de C.V.|website=BeerAdvocate}} In Mazatlán, the beer is available in three different size bottles: "cuartitos" ({{cvt|6|USoz|order=flip|disp=semicolon}}), "medias" ({{cvt|12|USoz|order=flip|disp=semicolon}}), and "ballenas" ({{cvt|32|USoz|order=flip|disp=semicolon}}).
Alcohol content: 4.4 percent. "Clara" means clear, blonde, as opposed to "oscura" (dark).
The Pacífico brewery was bought by Mexican brewing giant Grupo Modelo in 1954, which was later acquired by the Belgian-Brazilian Anheuser-Busch InBev company.
