Take this quiz to test your knowledge of beer. There is a Mexican beer sold in Baja in it.

15 out of 15 ... great score, but not sure what that says about me. Since I used to own a liquor store, is that an unfair advantage? I got about
half of them just looking at the label section ... clues were helpful on others. Steve

13 out of 15. Should have been 14, but I hadn't noticed the clue about the labels.

You're supposed to take the test, then drink beer.

10/15 for me, probably not even passing. I did get the Corona right, however. I have held a grudge against Mexican beers for a long time and it's
probably affected my judgment and clarity. I was the first American citizen to discover Pacifico. I did that on the old liveaboard dive boat Baja
Explorador out of La Paz in 1986. They served it up in those little tiny bottles. After drinking one (or was it ten?) I knew I was on to something
special, and brought a few bottles back in my luggage. I introduced it to my friends and its popularity soon spread on both sides of the border. The
rest, as they say, is history. I am hurt and still mildly offended that I never got proper credit for my discovery. A few of my old friends know the
truth but my epoch discovery remains largely unknown to the general public, both Mexican and American.
carpe diem!

Yep....Ken has been largely ignored in the Pacifico history books. A grave oversight, in my opinion.
His was such a momentous occasion that it, for a few anyway, overshadowed the fact that I, many times, drank voluminous amounts of Pacifico in the
humongous Beer Garden at the Pacifico Brewery in Mazatlán in the mid-60s. They charged one half Peso, 4 US cents, for a big glass of Draught.
Of course, my discovery was "on premisses" and didn't count in the big scheme of things. Ken broke the big world ice....so to speak.

I've asked here a thousand times if it's still there. Never a "Yes" so I almost have to assume it's history.
The place was really b-tchin [a word from the day]. It was huge, like the size of a football field with I don't know how many Mariachi bands playing
here and there. It would be a shame if it's gone.
It was adjacent to the brewery, downtown. I wonder if that's in the same place??

Welcome to BajaNomad, CDB. Missed your debut a few weeks ago.
Keep suckin up that Pacifico. You're sounding like a true Nomad already. 
By the way....see these little laughy heads? That means don't take the post too seriously.
Now.....see this..........?? Nuthin, huh. That means when you don't see a laughy head or anything else, don't take the post too seriously.
Survival skills for Nomad.

12/15 Somehow I missed the midwest and Canadian beer. Been to Canada, really like Canada & Canadians. Their beer? Not so much.

13 out of 15 for me. Sadly, I didn't even have to read some of the hints....just recognized the labels...a skill that comes from peeling the labels
off of the bottles to keep track of how much I'm drinking
Whenever I hear that rainy, chill wind blow. I think it may be time to head for Mexico. Tengo que obedecer mi corazon!
