Mexican Beer!
Is it just me or is Mexican beer great?
I spent 2 weeks in July on a small sailboat in the Midriff Islands without ice or a refer., we got back to Bahia de Kino and stumbled upon some
refridgerated Mexican beer and it was pure bliss. Now I'm hooked and wont settle for less. Now dont' get me wrong, cuz' I hate Budweiser, but what
would have happened if the first cold beer off of the boat that fateful day would have been Bud??!!
PS Isn't Bud import beer in Mexico???
Help me!,

Yes it is... designed by German brewmasters!
Favorites include: Pacifico, XX (Dos Equis), Mexicali, Tijuana, Tecate (in Baja, not the import here in U.S.), Bohemia, Carta Blanca, Modelo, Sol...
Most of them EXCEPT Corona.

Yes, fans of dark beer love Negra Modelo and Noche Bueno!
I forgot about (regular) Modelo... I'll add it to my list, Sol also.

I'll add the Corona in the deposito bottles...much better than the imported stuff in the US. There also used to be "Corona de Barrile" but I haven't
seen that in years.

That's Victoria, traditionally the cheapest beer in Mexico. I can remember drinking it at 50 centavos ea. when that was 4 cents USDL. Not usually
thought of as equal to those others, but STILL better than Bud. Here along the border, the favorite of many, if not most Mexicans is Bud Light (&
yes, in Mexico it's "imported") Go figure 
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

Thanks, Oso.
My first ever taste of multi-beers was at San Carlos Bay, Sonora, in 1954 (I was 15) when there was zero development or habitation there. We walked
down the beach from our camp and found a bunch of very young Mexican vaqueros having a celebration, and they sold us CARTA BLANCA for .19 cents
USD-------that is still a vivid memory, and boy did we have a great time with those guys that day. I have loved CARTA BLANCA ever since (but there
are better beers, like you say) 
Those vaqueros were so great----------every day we were there in camp (14 days) they came over early in the morning to our camp and staked out saddled
horses for our use for the day. They would come by in the evening to pick them up-----never asked for, or would they accept, and payment. None could
speak a word of English, as I remember.
Fantastic people!!!

Now that I think of it, it wasn't Victoria; it was Indio that I remembered .
Anybody else had it?
I can't get over how many Mexicans drink Bud!
Even clear bottle corona's better then Bud.
It must be the foxy Latina Bud Girls.
I really liked those "En Barril" bottles with the opener in the bottom. No need for a church key!

The new micro-brewed Mexicali tastes nothing like the original,which was my favorite beer.

That's funny-----------my friends and I always referred to the original "MEXICALI BEER" as "pure panther p--s"---------makes me shutter to even think
about it.
But then I love CORONA, so that tells you something about MY taste in beer.

On a trip to Guadalajara a few years ago, I found Dos Equis amber, a really great dark colored beer. Asked for it here in Baja, but never have been
able to find it. Anybody familiar with that particular beer ?

"CORONA" sold in the US smells like swamp water.
That doesn't mean I wouldn't take one if offered. So much for TASTE.

MEXICAN Corona, not "imported" Corona------I NEVER drink imported Corona. Yuck!!!!
I looked, but no MEXICALI'S------I did find a couple of dusty "CHIHUAHUA" beers tho, but there were strange things floating around inside them?????
Is this good???
