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

This stuff is the best beer in the world, hands down!

How to pour a Hefeweizen bier from a bottle. I prefer method #2 followed by rolling the bottle at the end!

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!

1. Steinlager
2. Heineken
3. Whatever

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.

I like Negro Modelo and Guinness. I was in a super market in Orange County the other day and noticed that a six pack of Negro Modelo was more expensive than a six pack of Guinness. Why is Negro Modelo so expensive? I was told nobody likes it in BCS(?)

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.

Bohemia and Bohemia Oscura


Carnitas Los Panchos in Rosarito makes the best micheladas (sin clamato) ever.

Tall Mexican glass with salt/chile crust on the rim, perfect clear ice and Bohemia Claro to add.

I had one with lunch today.

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::lol::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. :o:o

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.
