i'd have to agree to disagree on that one! i'd take a Tecate at times over Bud, Coors, MGD, etc... and i do enjoy Pacifico's

elmo,

Have you ever had Bohemia? If not, and you like Pilsners, you should give it a try. It is easily my favorite Mexican beer.

Gabriel, how very unpatriotic of you. you better not say anything like that about tequila or you can get your behind deported up north...and i don't mean US...but CANADA! man!

I'm not a big fan of Corona, but I like a couple of other Mexican beers. Probably my favorite is Negro Modelo.

I must admit that Corona does an excellent marketing job, however.

I also generally drink Negro Modelo when drinking Mexican beers. With the Bohemia recommendation, I may try that, although I have always shied from it, probably due to my mentally connecting it with Naty Bohemian. Yuck.

I am happy that many of you like beer as well. I sell about all of the beers that you have mentioned.

scbeerman, don't get your hopes too high

Did I ever mention that the person I described in the original post was Scubarex? He is now a member of this board and Winodepot and a CWM regular.

Can we play a rousing game of "guess the poster"?

Sweet. But did he order the '02 Harlan? I passed on the '98 and '00, and still got my allocation of the 2001. Then I received the '02 mailer too late (was overseas), and passed on the '03. We'll see if I get the '04.

....and for the record, I support the Pacifico brand of errr Mexican beer.

KillerB nailed it. Corona doesn't deserve to be called beer. With lime it tastes ever so slightly better that the Bud-Coors-Miller US megabrews, but for preference I'm firmly in the Negro Modelo and Bohemia camp.

20 years ago I was in Washington DC - it was mid June and 100+. A bunch of us had gone to the local deli and were eating our sandwiches outside. They were all drinking Budwater; I'd spotted that the deli had Anchor Porter, which back then I'd never seen before, only read about.

They looked at my bottle and said "How can you drink that stuff?".
I looked at theirs and said "I was going to ask you the same thing."

Living much of my life not far from the Mexican border, I grew up drinking Corona, Carta Blanca, Tecate, Dos Equis, and the other mass produced Mexican crap beers. I agree that Bohemia is the best of the bunchm abd stands out head and shoulders above the rest. Corona was around for ever as a very cheap low quality Mexican brew until a very smart importer and marketing company gave it a swanky image, tripled the price, and brought it to the USA paired with lime wedges.

For a great summer beach brew, you can't beat a nice crisp Hefeweizen or a good Czech Pilsner. For a great American crisp refreshing pilsner style beach brew, try the Karl Strauss Woody Gold. Can't wait for summer..........
