Never heard of this beer...


Was at the Del Mar Fair on Saturday and they were promoting this beer from Baja. Never heard of it before, but they told us it's been around since the 1920's and is now available in the U.S. for the first time.

Mexicali beer was around until the '70's when the original brewery shut down. A few years ago a new brewery was built in Tecate.

I really like this beer. I place it third on my list behind Casta and TJ. It is now widely available in TJ, Rosarito, Ensenada, Mexicali and Tecate.

Good beer, okay--but how about that "Baja, Mexico"? There were several posts blaming this shortcut on us gringos, a few weeks ago--has the brewery been bought by Budweiser?

I think you read that wrong. Coors markets Mexicali. If they owned the brewery the beer would taste like horse p*ss. It don't.

Horsepee? Catpee? I used to think I was a pretty experienced drinker, but I've never tried those . . .

On those sad occasions when we ran out of ice in Baja we found that Superior was excellent warm, Corona not so good, and Tecate wretched.

Horsepee/Catpee


There were times, really, when I didn't give a chiite. If it was carboneted and cold, pee was just fine. Just remember when confused, mine is the fullest and the coldest!:lol::lol:

Dreadful stuff!!


There was this really sweet young thing at the Gigante doing a promo for the abovementioned swill.
2 six packs and you get a free t-shirt.
O.K.
So, one of our guys went for it, well the beer was dreadful, the shirt was adequate and the girl is still sweet.
This stuff is so thin that you could make coffee with it if you run out of water.
By the by, we went round and round on this one some months back....
I actually knew the son of the original brew meister (not bad stuff, very interesting! Not at all like the current drizzle.)

Baja Arriba!!

They had samples at the county fair in Del Mar and I must admit (my wife too) that it is very very thin catpee, for sure.

Taste ??


I wonder about all of the contributors who seem to be familiar with
the taste of urine produced by various animals. I've never been
inclined to sample urine from any source, but I guess "to each their
own". It does seem that if you're willing to drink that, though, any
beer should taste good in comparison.

animal excrement?


Having previously posted my thoughts on this strange brand of 'stuff' without any reference to animal excrement, liquid or solid, I feel free to simply say....
Given a choice between drinking this brew or animal leakage I would choose the prior.... however, having never tasted the latter I am being somewhat uninformed in my taste selection.
Be that as it may, I do prefer a good Pacifico or, even better, a Modelo Negra... or even better, a Carta Blanca (sigh)

Baja Arriba!!

Well, as a German (Germans are raised with beer, as our mom's got it in the nippels) I can't pass this opportunity for a comment.
Although the entire posting is a matter of taste > the one of you might like the beer posted here, others prefer catpee. This is the truth about beer:
If beer does not stink (stick your nose in the glass and don't drink beer out of the bootle, that is uncivilized) it is a sweet brand.
Now, the one is preferrring sweet beer (like most Amaricans) the others are looking for the real beer taste and that taste is somehow bitter, lill stinky.
In North America beer is brewed from rice.
i.e. Budwiser or Miller or, or. Most of'em. Nearly all of them. I do not know any American brand of beer which is brewed with only the original engredians.
In Germany there is a so called Purity Law in existance.
Since 1516 by the way but still in effect.
Beer shall not contain any other ingrediant than: Water, BARLEY, Hops, Yeast and Malt.
BARLEY is the stuff the Americans are not using.
Not using Barley > no beer (catpee[sorry])
No chemicals in German beer at all !!!!
All American beers are made with chemicals like foam stabilizer etc.
>> They can make a beer with the foam in the middle !!
We have a brewery in our town, they mix a powder with water and the outcome is beer.
And the guy who tastes it is called the """""Brewmaster"""""".
Back to taste:
If I cant get my fingers on a German beer I prefer "XX > dos Equis"
That stuff comes real close to real pure beer > German made.
Good Mexican stuff!

Beer is NOT only a metter of taste, it's a matter of culture and 'knowing'.
Got to quit my posting, my squaw is calling > the beer is cold.
