Not that anybody would care but, at the market today I saw SOL....CERO. A no-alcohol beer.

Steve&Debby - 2-11-2008 at 09:25 PM

The poll will not allow you to pick more than one ,I agree with Bajahawk , all the above as long as it is cold. Home in california drinking a cold Bud light. Wishing I was on the Beach at Santispec drinking a cold cervasa of any kind.

BAJACAT - 2-11-2008 at 09:35 PM

Guys&gals,I just listed the most populars,thats why there is a "OTHER" selection,there is so many to name,if you likings is not in the list you can vote for other,and below,you can post the brand and if you like a picture.

kodiak - 2-11-2008 at 09:38 PM

I am just getting back to the states after spending 3 months in Baja.....I can confidently say, I have kept Pacifico in business for yet another year.

Marie-Rose - 2-11-2008 at 09:54 PM

I'm with you Bajacat. Pacifico is great but Negro Modelo is my favorite!!

fdt - 2-11-2008 at 10:00 PM

Hey, que paso?

elgatoloco - 2-11-2008 at 10:27 PM

TJ Beer is tasty. Just had a Morena with my tortilla soup and shrimp quesadilla.

When I am in Baja I prefer micheladas con Tecate.

Iflyfish - 2-11-2008 at 10:34 PM

I am partial to a full bodied red with a long finish, Sarah tonight, but if it's beer it's Pacifico, nada mas or if it's sippin time nothing can beat a Modelo Negro or a cold Noche Buena.

Iflyfish

Bohemia Obscura

Gypsy Jan - 2-11-2008 at 10:50 PM

I'm not a regular beer drinker, but a good beer in Baja is much easier to find than a good glass of wine.

At lunch today in TJ, the daughter noticed a beer with a silver foil collar in the cooler. She ordered it and I had a taste - very delicious and it was much better than the frequently bitter/sour Negra Modelo, IMHO.

Paulina - 2-11-2008 at 11:46 PM

I was looking for "Tab".

P<*)))><

Noche Buena

Russ - 2-12-2008 at 06:16 AM

I love this beer but it's only around during the Christmas season

4baja - 2-12-2008 at 07:26 AM

pacifico or what ever my buddy has for free.

Acuity - 2-12-2008 at 07:30 AM

Negra Modelo, when I can't get Noche Buena (my real favourite)

negra

capt. mike - 2-12-2008 at 08:07 AM

pacifico if i am buying for you.

and vin if i am drinking for pleasure.
and hard stuff if i am drinking for FX!!

David K - 2-12-2008 at 08:57 AM

Anything but Corona! Pacifico, Carta Blanca, Mexicali, Tijuana Guera, Tecate (in Baja), Dos Equis (XX) Lager, all good!

Corralejo Resposado or Anejo (sipped) with Pacifico (con limon) chaser. AND any of the sipping tequilas: Don Pedron, Tres Generaciones and even Cabo Wabo. God Bless Sammy Hagar.

shari - 2-12-2008 at 11:06 AM

it would be interesting to break it down by area...baja norte, sur, pacific coast, las bahias etc....we are a tecate family but I love dark beers and that TJ beer is superb...love it when nomads bring it!

Natalie Ann - 2-12-2008 at 11:51 AM

If we're limiting the choices to cerveza, then I'm another Nomad for Negra Modelo or Noche Buena.

Don't chase good tequila!
Modelo Especial, evenings. Pacifico on warm afternoons. Late, on a cold evening, Negro Modelo.
This is God's truth.

I know why Pacifico is winning, it's cheaper in price. :lol:

<sorry DENISS :coolup:

comitan - 2-13-2008 at 08:55 PM

Just a point to ponder, it took the Mexicans a long time to start drinking Pacifico because they could not see what was in the bottle, probably because they knew the things they left in the bottles when they turned them in. :lol:

I'm sure their bottling methods have gotten better so don't worry you Pacifico drinkers anything left I'm sure is Pasteurized. :rolleyes:

Steve&Debby - 2-13-2008 at 09:35 PM

How about the poor mans Bud Light, Natural Light

Actually, a trip to the beer garden at the Pacifico brewery will make one a life-long convert.

Does anybody know if that's still happening in Mazatlán?

David K - 2-14-2008 at 07:39 AM

Pacifico has more character of its own than the other pilsner German-Mexican brews... price has nothing to do with its popularity.

I do 'rotate' the various Mexican beers I like... Pacifico is always #1, but I will switch to XX Special Lager, Carta Blanca, Tijuana, Mexicali, Tecate, Superior, Modelo even... just never Corona!

David K - 2-14-2008 at 08:56 AM

Something about a clear bottle... and that God aweful taste... It is funny too, in that the first beer we kids liked and drank in Baja was Corona!!! :rolleyes:

Either our 18 year old taste buds grew up or the beer we bought in San Felipe in 1975 has sure changed!

tripledigitken - 2-14-2008 at 09:16 AM

I too voted for Pacifico. Back in my college days my favorite was Superior though.

I don't see it anymore. Is it available in Baja?

Would be interesting to see if I still liked it.

Back to the subject:
Years ago, when they just started distributing Pacifico in Baja, I got a bottle that not quite made it through the cleaning process and was 1/3 filled with some substance I hate to determine. Put me off of it for a while. Loved it in Mazatlan. (Beergarden!!!)
Also ,anyone know why XXlager Ambar is not available in Baja. Find it anywhere on the mainland. Good beer !!!
Would even prefer it over Pacifico,if available. :biggrin:

Oso - 2-16-2008 at 08:55 AM

I got one with a moldy blue/green lemon slice inside, didn't notice until I'd already chugged half. Have hated the idea of putting lemon or lime slices in the bottle ever since.

Steve&Debby - 2-16-2008 at 10:04 AM

Horse pee or Pacifico with mouse, it's all in what a guy or gal likes. Pacifico with mouse is a beer with protien.As for the Horse pee I will have to leave that for you BAJACAT,Would that be on the rocks or straight from the tap? :lol:

The moldy lemon peel was real and yes. it was Pacifico.

As was the lime. Pacifico [ my choice today ] was the culprit.

Bambay Sapphire--a blue beer?

Peloncito - 2-16-2008 at 08:02 PM

Okay, I will step and be the recipient of all jokes! I will admit that I love plain old Modelo in cans. I squeeze an entire lime on the top (before opening the can) and salt the heck out of it. Pop the top & polish it off. The only way to go. What is shocking to me is that it is more expensive than Pacifico (at least around my house).

This is the smoothest rum any of my friends in Temecula have ever tasted. They couldn't believe the stuff.

Here is what Bevmax.com said about Ron Medellin:

Ron Medellin Rum 750ml

Colombian rum produced from the finest pure cane sugar. It has a slightly sweet and fruit aroma and flavor and mixes well in all rum-based drinks as well as on the rocks.

The best beer in the world is German Hefeweizen bier. Erdinger is my favorite, but almost every brand is very good.

From this morning's Punta Banda Bulletin Board...
The First Annual Ensenada Homebrewers & Artisan Beer Festival was a great success, not only for the promoters, but for Old Mission Brewery's Brewmaster, Paul Woronicz. He walked away with 3 gold medals for his Dos Pablo I.P.A., Baja Brown Ale, and Old Mission Hefeweizen (Wheat). Quite an accomplishment for his first competition!

The BEST Beer I ever Tasted (or so I thought at the time) WAS Dortmunder Union.

After tasting one at one of the myriad Hofbraus which sprouted up all over So Cal in the 60s, I went to a Liquor Store in Manhattan Beach and would Special Order by the Case. At an astounding $10.50 per case.

Of course, Bud, Coors and the like were $1.05 per Sixer with the otras like Schlitz, Pabst, etc under a buck.

When I used to fish in Loreto in the mid 80s, the junk beer was Corona. When you went panga fishing and they asked you how many cervesas you wanted, they would provide Corona if you didn't specify a brand. The cheapest and most plentiful beer at the time, anywhere, was Corona. Now it's considered a semi-premium beer. Doesn't make sense to me why it is considered a premium brand unless it's all about marketing, which I think it is.

Why is it so hard to find Negra Modelo? Even the Modeloramas in La Paz don't carry it.

When I used to drink and drive back in the 80s and early 90s, Mickey's Wide Mouth was great because the wide mouth made it easier to tip a fast one, plus, since it's a malt liquor, it was a faster hit to the brain.

For the most part, drinking is all about getting the buzz, taste is a secondary consideration.

The wholly tasteless crap that is the current Corona Beer all over the US, is not the same as the Corona that you describe.

However the bad news is that Corona, in brown squat bottles amounts to being the Old Milwaukee of today.

It was the poor people's beer.

Here in my neck of the woods, Good ole Pacifico is the brew of
choice, but on occasion someone from the far northern hinterlands
will care for a Corona and a limon, so I will break out the foot bath,
and a block of cow salt, and let em soak their footies in the swill.
I do try to accomodate the greater unwashed.

Erdinger is very good, no doubt. But you have not lived until you have had on-tap Paulaner at their restaurant in Munchen. Preferably the dunkel.

Truth is, Germany is beer heaven. And Bavaria is the highest form of that. Best beer in the world.

Funny story (true story).

If you visit Munich in the warm weather, one of the highlights are the Englischer Garden. There are several, strategically placed, beer gardens there. By strategically placed, I mean that you can send a day walking from beer garden to beer garden and really not spend more than 20-30 minutes walking from one to the other. But, in case of emergency, the thoughtful Germans have found a lucrative opportunity in small beer stands in between the beer gardens, to provide relief in case you should get dangerously dehydrated while walking. They do a great business, by the way. :lol:

That is even more amazing when you consider that the standard way to dispense the beverages is in one-liter maas vessels. A normal intake would consist of no less than four, and 10-12 is much more common. That's almost three gallons of beer.

So next time a german claims that a six pack is not very much beer, keep those facts in perspective.

tripledigitken - 4-10-2011 at 02:38 AM

NOB Stone Pale Ale, Pilsner Urquell

SOB Pacifico, Bohemia

capt. mike - 4-10-2011 at 07:42 AM

having lived in Munchen in summer of 1972 i agree with all beers bararian!
always had Paulaner, dortmunder union, Lowenbrau et al around in bottles but drank it on tap at the many gardens and stuberals.
many an afternoon at the Rattcellar in Maria Platz.

for mexican i like Dos Equuis amber and negra modelo although i'd really like to try some of the TJ brewery stuff.

don't drink much beer anymore unless it is very hot out and i am out.
corona is so bad i can't believe people like it.
tecate is ok if i can get it 1 degree above freezing. and mixed with clamato or a shot of sangrita.

Phil S - 4-10-2011 at 08:17 AM

All time favorite is Pacifico. In Baja & in the U.S of A.
