Really, I like Micheladas. And Bud Lite is a favorite of my "ex-associates" in zona norte. |
I've never had one but, is an original Michelada made with Clamato? I don't think so. |
Heck, I dunno, I just order 'em and drink 'em. They're red and have beer in them and some spicy stuff too!

Here we are discussing beer and I find myself is trouble again with the wife!
1. For posting that PhotoShopped picture of her head popping out of a beer bottle.
2. Our on-going argument about how to pronounce Clamato. Now I need help. Is it:
clam-may-toe
or
clam-mah-toe
I blame oldhippie for bringing beer additives into this thread.

Cla mah toe
I think its pronounced Cla mah toe
Clamato* juice is the integral ingredient in the Caesar c-cktail, a Canadian invention. It was developed in Calgary, Alberta, in 1969 by bartender
Walter Chell to mark the opening of a new restaurant "Marco's"

Aye, but I've heard that Clamato itself was invented here in Mexicali by a bartender at Hotel Lucerna, the recipe was stolen by a bar back and made
into what is now called Clamato. Wikipedia says otherwise; but, since the work Tomato is actually an Aztec word (Tomatl) I'll give it to the
Mexicans. You say Tomato and I'll say Tomatl
If you use the Spanish pronunciation.. it is Cla mah toh...I'd explain why.. but my Spanish grammar is whacked. Think of it this way.. the locals
say.. "eh-migo" or "ah-migo"; but, not "A-migo".

BTW- Just tried the "Noche Buena" here this week. It's good stuff! Gave me some wicked gas though. 
I tend to drink a lot of Tecate Lite in the heat. That reviewer needs to get away from the A/C and out into the real world where real beer drinkers
live. 
Otherwise. I always love Pacifico. It's a good middle of the road beer. If stranded with no choice I'll drink almost anything except MGD (makes me
puke everytime.... give me one on a good day and I'll show you) and Sol tastes about as good as leftover toilet bowl water.. but I can stomach it in
a pinch at least.

What happened? I remember in the early 60's the beer to drink in Baja was Corona, or maybe if you were rico Bohemia. The poor people drank Tecate with
lime to make it drinkable. Now it's that Tecate hogwash everywhere. In San Juanico 6 deposito's and only 2 with drinkable beer.

Superior was also popular in the early 60s.

Suggestion: tip your head back a bit when paying homage to the porcelain god, that way the backsplash doesn't get that leftover toilet bowl water in
your mouth.

While I enjoy Pacifico, Negra Modelo, and others, I still crave a real beer while in Baja. Hence, I often have a stash of Sierra Nevada, Anderson
Valley IPA, Red Nectar Ale, or something similar. When we get our place set up in Asuncion and we're there for a few weeks at a time, I will be
brewing my own beer on premises.
Yep, sitting on the front porch, listening to Sirius Blues, looking out to the bay with fresh fish on the bbq, and enjoying a cold one....nothing
better unless I've got amigos with me.

You can make your own Carta Blanca. Buy some Bud-lite and put a drop of dish soap in every can.

OOOH, now you done it. Bud Light rules! Number one beer in the world. When I drink Mexican beer, give me a Pacifico any day. And yes 805Gregg, in the 60's Bohemia and Superior were very
popular. They changed the recipes somewhere along the way and lost popularity. If you can find Bohemia anywhere, I heard it's still halfway decent. On
the other end of the spectrum, the only thing worse than Corona, is Sol. That stuff stinks IMHO.
