For those that don't know about history, here is a condensed version:
Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go
to the coastand live on fish and lobster in the winter.
The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the
beer. These were the foundations of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups:
1. Liberals
2. Conservatives.
Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so
while our early humans were sittingaround waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery.That's how villages were formed.
Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to BBQ at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the
Conservative movement....
Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly BBQs and doing the sewing,
fetching, and hair dressing.This was the beginning of the Liberal movement.
Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. They became known as girlie-men. Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the
domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that
conservatives provided.
Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the
burro for obvious reasons.
Modern liberals like Corona beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish
but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food is standard liberal fare.. Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women
have higher testosterone levels than their men.Most social workers,personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists
are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat.
Conservatives drink Pacifico or Dos Equis beer, and ocasionally Bud or Miller. They eat red meatand still provide for their women. Conservatives are
big game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks,construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, engineers, corporate executives,
athletes, members of the military, airline pilots and generally anyone who works productively.
Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.
Liberals produce little. They prefer to govern the producers....and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more
enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America . They crept in after the
Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get something for nothing.

I would never buy Pacifico. I will drink it if its offered. I was in Fort Collins recently for work. Spent some quality time at New Belgium Brewery
over a couple of evenings. Lots of conservatives with tats and piercings working there. 
Beer was great anyways.

I think the fascination with microbrews is a bit of snobbery...Its "in" to tout one microbrew over another...Large points are earned when the bragger
has tried one that the bragee has not...I have tried a good number of them, mostly in Colorado...some are good, some pretty bad.BUT I wonder if anyone
ever complains about something dark, bitter and yeasty after paying 5 bucks or more for it? Pacifico is ok, and available, At home here I prefer
Barrilito....I'd like to continue yalls education, BUT Ol sol is peeking up, and I gotta go fishin...

Consume LESS
And ALWAYS buy the BEST.
When available.
Steinlager.
Or, Heineken when Steinlager isn't around.
Haven't bought anything else in (at least) Five years.

Did you happen to stop at the truck stop on I 26 just out of town, and if so is Debby Does Donuts still there? Truly a Liberal donut/ porn shop that
used to deliver you donut hanging off the waitresses rack.

It's all a matter of taste... and that changes from person to person. Maybe some buy a beer for popularity purposes, but that would be dumb IMO.
My choice is refreshment, smoothness, no after taste, great in the desert stuff. For others they like that bitter bite, IPA whatever taste. I used to
like dark beers when I was younger...
DARK BREWS Now, Dos Equis Amber, Tijuana Brewery's Morena, or Noche Buena are about the only dark ones I will enjoy with dinner.
MEDIUM BREWS Pacifico is the strongest of the 'light' beers, having the most beer taste and almost is too 'dark' to be a light beer
IMO. Victoria Beer would be my next choice for a mid range beer, after Pacifico. Tecate about third place as I find it has a bit more extra taste then
the next group.
LIGHTER BREWS Not light as in watery beer, but very refreshing and easy drinking: Dos Equis Special Lager, Mexicali Beer, Tijuana
Brewery's Güera, Carta Blanca, Sol...
LITE BEER Tecate Light is my choice for a Lite (low cal) beer. I tried Pacifico Light and it was far too watery in taste for me.

Baja Brewing features a "Peyote Pale Ale" that is a fairly full-bodied IPA. It's brewed in Cabo and available at The Distillery in Todos Santos, but I'm not sure how widely it's distributed beyond that.
An ice cold Pacifico can be very refreshing, but whenever I return from a trip to Mexico I find myself in need of Hops therapy.

Saint Louis Mo. has long been known as a Beer Brewing center. There's numerous small brewers that I never heard of before.
I lived in central Missouri and owned a 18 wheel truck I would often get a load of Beer bottler to haul to different breweries this medium size brew
ire I delivered to not only bottled their own Beer They made beer for other's that weren't big enough to bottle their own label.

Negra Modelo is dark...and superb, in my opinion.
Lately, I've been using it in the Beer Batter for fish tacos.

Yes indeed... and it was the official sponsor beer of the 1979 Baja 1000 (the one I was in)... we drank so much Negra Modelo the night before the
race... I give it some credit for causing us to DNF the next day!
Later I expelled much of it near those giant heads in Ensenada after we got towed back to town!
I never drank Negra Modelo again! Not the beer's fault... we just had too much that night at the Bahia!
