You would think with all the money FEMSA makes they would invest in some new cardboard beer cases and retire the old beer bottles... Maybe some decent
customer service like showing up with a delivery when promised.
I guess they're saving up.

I like amber or darks, Dos Equis and Corona were our starter beers, but have now decided that the Pacifico is more our taste, I do hold out for Negro
Modelo from time to time, ah heck just give me the brewery and keep me forever happy! Thanks for your info....Connie

Maybe so. He certanly has no need to invest for profit. If he didn't still use pocket protectors, he might be a tenant at Punta Brava.

I wonder if anyone has had the pleasure of drinking Casta? Casta was an independent brewery of craft beer located in a suburb of Monterey. They made
several types of beer, and all were really good. Several years ago, their beer was available at BevMo. Last time I went into my local store, they
didn't carry it. I first found it in one of Mr. Richter's restaurants in Cabo. Seems, they were aiming at an upscale clientele, and did not ship to
stores. What may or may not be a sad ending to the story is that a couple of years ago, FEMSA bought them, closed their small brewery and move
production to one of their breweries. Casta is still being made. Just don't know where to buy it.

#5 in the World
I didn't see much about folks here recommending Corona. But it is the largest selling import in the United States and the number 5 beer in the world.
The funny thing about that is many years ago, it was considered a "working class" beer in Mexico. It came in a brown, squat/ barrel-like bottle. It
was not considered atop tier beer- like Old Milwaukee or Keystone in the states. Some genuis came up with the idea of putting it in clear bottles, and
exporting it. That was in the 70's. Didn't hurt that their advertising campaign is legend.

OK, this is going to cause a stir------------I like Corona-----------I actually like it better than Pacifico (gasp). 
But, the best (IMHO) is Negra Modelo or Dos X's amber. Heck, I even like Carta Blanca----the first beer I ever drank.
And the absolute worst beer I ever drank was the old panther-pee, Mexicali (this was back in the 50's and 60's.)
Of course everybody will agree with me.

Barry- If you google Corona beer, a first page hit is a page dealing with whether the workers urinate in the beer at the brewery. It's kind of an
urban legend. I am right there with you on Negro Modelo. I also think, despite the fact that it is not quite as good as it once was, Bohemia is good.

Corona-------I said "I liked it", not that I drink it. (I always thought it
was just "tooooooo" yellow)
Why drink Corona when there is Negra Modelo, Bohemia (an excellent choice), and Dos xx amber----------
I am with you. When do we start??

That's probably because it tastes like Miller in the old clear bottle and leaves an aftertaste like you just drank a liquified terd. It's terrible in
a world of better choices.
Standing alone in the right atmosphere, middle of the Gobi Dessert perhaps, it may be a welcome beverage. Till then, it's sewage.
Just my opinion.
It gives me a headache too.
