The ORIGINAL Dos Equis was amber, the green bottles came later. Way back when Dos Equis was one of the very first quality Mexican beers to be
imported, a well-known (except I forget who) food critic described the flavor as "Delightful as the laughter of a maiden being chased by her lover on
a warm summer night."
As much as I love good Mexican, German and well, good imported beer period, I have found few to equal a home-grown SoCal microbrew: Arrogant Bastard
Ale.
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

Well my wife actually thinks I'm white trash for liking Tecate in the cans, but I just cant' help it, that and considering that she's a Chicana and
doesn't even drink beer, let alone Mexican beer I think I'll be OK

I loved those bottles with the built in openers in the bottom. In San Felipe in 1980, if we bought a case of them the market would give us a free
barril glass. We wanted a set of six so beers flowed on that weekend trip. I still have a few glasses left.
Bud.  my only comment... I call it Buttwiper. At least that's what it tastes
like to me.
Dern was smart. He left for the Score 250, leaving his Buttwipers in the fridge, knowing they would be there when he got back. Couldn't say the same
if he left TKT, the flower of Baja.

Tecate - Good German Beer
I have a German Friend whose favorite Mex Beer is Tecate and he points out that it has to be the greatest because the Tecate Brewery was founded by a
German Brewmeister who immigrated to Mexico.
Not my favorite, though.

Negra Modelo IS THE BEST, and occasionally you can get a "deal" on a case at TRADER JOE'S.
Yes, it's good!!!!

Yep! Carta Blanca. I figured any beer company that was considerate enough to open my beer for me had my vote.
Now I pretty much stick with Pacificos. Never cared for Corona. It always smelled like skunk water to me. I figure if you have to add lime to make
it drinkable is really isn't worth drinking.

I have not been a fan of most dark beer since I drank way too much Negra Modelo in 1979 the night before I was in the Baja 1000!
You see Negra Modelo was the official sponsor of the '79 1000, so like good SCORE racers, we drank it, and drank more, and more... This was at the
Bahia Hotel... race headquarters then.
Anyway, after we got back to Ensenada from racing (and breaking down) all the Negra Modelo came out... from the same portal it got in!
Anyway, not much dark beer ever since!
The Tijuana dark beer is excellent, however!

MY MEXICAN BEER FAVORITES...and some information for lovers of good Beer...
When in Baja, I always drink PACIFICO. A really COLD one goes down so fast sometimes!!!
When I'm looking for something with more taste, DOS EQUIS AMBER is one of my favorites, especially when you drInk it from a frosty beer glass. Really
great with good Mexican food!!
NEGRO MODELO is certainly a good beer too! and again best from a cold glass!!
AND...I agree with Oso... ARROGANT BASTARD ALE is a fantastic beer!!! It's brewed by STONE BREWING here in San Diego County. They're a smaller brewery
that has enjoyed great success and are growing larger. Their beers have won many medals at beer festivals. They recently moved into a new brewery
which they built in Escondido. They have a retail store and restaurant on site as well. Stone Beers are being distributed in many states across the
U.S. now. Another of my favorites fron them is their STONE PALE ALE.
If your heading south on I-5 on your way to Baja and can find the time for a couple of beers, there's another GREAT Micro Brewery here in Carlsbad.
It's called Port Brewing and their beers are brewed and served at their PIZZA PORT restaurant on Carlsbad Village Drive, about 1/2 mile from the
freeway. Their Beers have also won many Gold and Silver medals in national beer festivals. Their Pizza is good too!
Hoisting a cold one to you...
