There are other threads on beer in Baja here on Nomad... if you are interested to search them...
Anyone remember XXX (Tres Equis)?
Baja Beers (beers made in Baja) include Mexicali, Tecate, and Tijuana Beer... and Noche Buena at Christmas time.
My favorites are XX Special Lager and Pacifico... In Baja, I like most every beer EXCEPT Corona! Which is funny, because we started drinking Coronas
back in the 70's and liked them! Shows you how one matures from age 18 in beer drinking!!
Tecate is good in Baja, but Tecate beer imported to the states is yuck! Pacifico import does taste good, however!
Zac, you can get a case of Tijuana Beer at Costcos in San Diego and they contain the Guera (clear) and Morena (dark) beers made in TJ... They are very
good and rich beers that you will enjoy. The brew master is Czeck... we met him on the first tour we took of the facility.

Oh, sure. That was the lighter one of the two. XX was dark. I hope my memory's working today.

Story of my life.
Are you sure about that? Something way back in my memory banks says the opposite.

Actually, I think Dennis is right.
XXX was quite light.......and quite awful, as I recall.
Whereas, the original XX was much stouter, before they began making different ales and lagers.
You're re-writing the story of your life, Dennis!

I think I'm right, but I do have a few leaks in my memory banks.

You're right--I remember XX almost having a molasses taste. I can get it on tap at the local TexMex but its more carbonated and watery now.

I admit to being a little confused...what is new...most Molasses based beers are like Imperial stouts. Don't remember Dos Equis as being that heavy?

Al, you would have to have had it in the 60s or 70s. It was actually just a bit lighter than the Noche Buena.
Yeah, Mexitron, nothing like dogs or beers to inflate the post counts.
XXX was the Old Milwaukee of Mexico...........banco's description of the color is in keeping with the taste as well.
