Just when you think you knew all about MEXICAN beers (Reply to this comment)
by thestumps
Interesting subject about Mexican beers. For starters, I happen to like CORONA. It goes down good in the tropics. It's a light beer with thin viscocity, goes great with a lime. Now I wouldn't drink a Corona in dead of winter here in the USA because, for cold weather, I prefer the thick, dark beers, or WINTER BREW. Right now, I happen to have TWO BOTTLES OF PACIFICO in my freezer, trying to cool them down so I can drink them up. I never had those in Mexico. My usual beer when traveling in Mexico is DOS EQUIS with a lime, mainly in Acapulco or Cozumel. But one beer you didn't mention that you probably never heard of. And it is quite readily available around MERIDA, and sometimes in Cozumel. It's a YUCATAN BEER called MONTEJO. It taste good in Mexico. Sometimes beer in Mexico taste better in Mexico. I like LONE STAR beer in Texas. I like TONA in Nicaragua. I like PILSEN in Costa Rica. I like BALBOA in Panama. Now, I'm fixin to try a PACIFICO here in Houston. Looks like a Corona from the same yellow color. Probably goes good with a lime.

Cucapa (Reply to this comment)
by bkalafut
A few micorbreweries have sprung up in Mexico in the last few years, including Cucapa, in Mexicali. I just had one of their brews this afternoon. Not a knockout, but not bad, either.

Mexican microbrew beers (Reply to this comment)
by guachoo
This article is kind of old and probably true back then. Now there are a handful of Mexican microbrews and surprisingly are selling in the states. The ones I know about are Cucapa Beer and Tijuana Beer. They each have several types - all very good. I know in San Diego they are selling them. Here are their sites: www.tjbeer.com , www.cucapa.com and the distributor in San Diego is www.brewdistributing.com

Suck that lemon! (Reply to this comment)

HA HA HA! That made me laugh quite a bit!
I also found how you encoded your email adress very amusing. Nice....
About the best mexican beer I have tried is Negro modelo which my wife likes a lot, perhaps more than I do. I would like to try more, but the local selection is poor. There is always mail order, but beer becomes very bulky; it's better to mail order tequila.

My family loves Corona (Reply to this comment)
by some_guy5
but I hate it. There are always coolers full at all our family parties. When we got on the subject they talked about how good it was with a slice of lime. Well I agree that it is better with a slice of lime. I like the taste of lime better than the taste of Corona. Most things taste better with a ton of sugar in them too.
Thanks for the great info. I am inspired to keep an eye out for some of your Mexican recommendations.

Hola, cerveza! (Reply to this comment)
by sleahy
A real fan of several of the Mexican brand brews here -- Tecate, especially, is a longtime favorite.
Salted rim on a frosted mug, fresh lime squeezed in the beer, my Dad used to call them poor man's margaritas.
For some reason, my favorite time to enjoy them is after a long day of Christmas shopping with my wife. She runs my wheels off, then we both relax at a quiet restaurant with a couple of cold Tecates.
Feliz Navidad!

That's right (Reply to this comment)

Michael Jackson did just tour this brewery as Casta Morena was this month's selection from his Real Beer Tour. It's an excellent brew and a real surprise too from Mexico. I have to add a review on this one, although I didn't hurry as I still have 7 left.
