WHY?

Why do Mexicans have a love affair with BUD LITE. When Mexico brews some of the best beers in the world

i think it's a variant of the grass is always greener.

Everyone is impressed when you drink an 'IMPORT'!

Maybe they've just bought into all that advertising hype that has corraled the "youngsters" in this country. With all the great imports and local brewery's, I really don't understand why they drink that crap, other than it's cool and you can drink 3 cases of it before you get a buzz. One of those mysteries that George Carlin used to talk about all the time.

-----taste is relative, and very personal. I don't much care for "Pacifico"--------I am a Negra Modello fan, but in a pinch I will even drink Bud Light, and I love Corona, also.

But I totally agree that it is hard to beat the Mexican beers, period.

But there are exceptions-----In the old days we used to consider "MEXICALLI" beer pure Panther Pixx, but that did not stop us from drinking it if it was icy cold.

Whats with the WE? The OLD mexicali was the best beer ever brewed. If I remember right that was the only option at the "Long bar" and Hussongs

OK, ok, I (only??) did not like Mexicali---------I am not sure who the "we" were-----(a few friends???) -----and I SAID that I DID drink the "old" mexicali if I HAD TO. (It grew on you as the night progressed, I suppose)

I think you are right about the "long bar" and others.

My taste buds lean towards Bohemia, but my wallet votes for Modelo.Tecate is like a green draft.

What you mean "we" KimoSabe?
Although, when you drank in Hussongs, you definitely were drinking with a long bar of "we", most of whom you never mentioned as friends to your wife.

As a kid I worked for a summer at one of the major Dutch breweries. I distinctly remember that the export beer was brewed in different batches from the domestic ones. Some had to do with alcohol percentages and others with other restrictions.
In other words, don't judge the brews from different countries by the product sold in the States or Canada.
Not too many Mexican beers, won't even mention American ones, can favorably compete with the domestic European brews. But they're "mucho mejor" then their American competition.

I think I remember her. Was she the one dancing on the table.

I was in Hussongs a few years ago. The margaritas came premixed through one of those squirter things. YUK! Never went back.

I figured this one out years ago.

The reason behind the amazing consumption of icky old Bud by Mexican nationals is the BUD Girls!

Well, the girls get hotter as you scroll down. I think I could prbably choke down a fantasy but not the product they advertise.

I think I prefer the Tecate girls.
