BajaNomad - Corona Beer declared safe

Corona Beer declared safe

LancairDriver - 1-29-2020 at 06:45 PM

Nomads who may have heard the rumor going around that Corona beer is connected to the feared“Coronavirus” and panicked and poured out their Corona, there is good news. (except for the wasted beer) The Chinese have officially declared Corona beer is perfectly safe and has no connection with the virus bearing its name. This was on the evening news this evening.This news arrived in time for me to save mine.

Safe is about the most exciting adjective that could be used to describe Corona.

Is Corona even beer?

The beer of choice in Baja appears to be Tecate.

Just don`t let your favorite Mexican bartender put a wedge of lime sticking in the Corona bottle. You`ll not only get the "Coronavirus", but you will also get Lyme disease.

If you drink too much of it you get the three two flew.....

To be "safe" for me, it would have to be Corona, sin alcohol! Wouldn't that be special.

A case or two of the virus in Mexico will get the border shutdown, just sayin.

It's already in the US, what purpose would closing the border do? I'm sure we have more Chinese arriving daily in the US than Mexico does in a month.

No body told her she is saving her boyfriend.

I'm really surprised. I thought Chinese preferred Tsing Tau.

San Miguel Pale Pilsen worked for me in Subic Bay/Olongapo, P.I.

Very safe.

Unfortunately this will probably be the end of Corona. I still miss Ebola beer and bird flu hot pockets.

Corona Beer - beer so bad they add lime to disguise the taste.

The Beer of Choice in Baja ?

MrBillM - 2-4-2020 at 12:01 PM

From what I've seen, the choice among Mexicans seems to be Bud Light.

Which doesn't say much for their taste.

As to Corona Extra, it's hard to understand some of the passionate dislike often expressed. But then, it's hard to understand that sort of crazed obsession over food/drink. There have been very few beers that I've ever sampled which I'd not drink again. Even Bud Light if offered.

Corona Extra a mild inoffensive Pale Lager. OK on a hot day. Nothing more or less.

My current favorites are Stella Artois, Guinness Stout, Heineken and (when I could find it) Steinlager.

I don't see alot of connoisseur's but at ninety-five pesos a 12 pack bud and coors light are a pretty attractive deal!

Paco Facullo - 2-4-2020 at 12:19 PM

Pacifico Ballenas

favorite mexican beer isn't even mexican....Lagunitas IPA or lil Sumpin' available at any OXXO, 33pesos :coolup:

AKgringo - 2-4-2020 at 02:34 PM

I don't drink the real stuff anymore, but if I did, I would rather have a Corona in a bottle, than a Tecate or Bud light in a can!

Ice cold it doesn't matter that much, but as the brews get closer to ambient temperature, the really crappy beers tend to make themselves known!

David K - 2-4-2020 at 05:00 PM

I can remember when I was 18 in San Felipe and ordering a Corona to go with my fish tacos... We kids back then thought they were great...

Then I grew up... :light:

Lagunitas at OXXO? De verdad? Probably some locs in some metro areas? Where's the closest one to Loreto? Haha :light:

$33 pesos is cheaper than what we pay for em in UT.
Need something tween the Bohemia Oscuras y Negra Modelos! Saludos
