Tried some Carta Blanca with chicken quesadillas last night.

Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma beers were on sale at my local. Pretty decent lager, but nothing to rave about.

Carta Blanca is my fave Mexican brew, followed by Negra Modelo. Dos Equis Amber is good. Dos Equis lager & Corona are alright.

I need some Bohemia, though, because I'm a Bohemian.

Though I've become a full blown beer snob, I still enjoy a corona on hot summer day. I know I shouldn't.

MikeyT · April 20, 2012, 10:40:19 AM

Different beers for different occasions, right ?

RAGER · April 20, 2012, 10:46:38 AM

I too am a beer snob but I absolutely love Mexican beers. I do not care for Corona. My top favs are

Modelo Especial
Pacifico
Victoria
Bohemia
Sol

I love micheladas

Aptly named because it ruins you for other beers.

Actually, it's their brett IPA that does that. (Forgot the name. It's a tough one to remember.)
Palate Wrecker is drinkable compared to that....

neighbor664 · April 22, 2012, 07:51:28 PM

IMO, Palate Wrecker is so tasty that all other beer tastes like shit after drinking it. There's better?

I,Galactus · April 22, 2012, 09:27:31 PM

Maker's 46 in a hot bath. Take that, lower back pain!

I'm gonna have to say: Fuck yes. Look to Belgium, young man. The newer hybrid WC inspired Belgian IPA's especially.

No I realize that there is better beer, particularly Belgian stuff.
I was just surprised that Green Flash had something yet better than the Palate Wrecker.

That, my friend, is the shit in my world. Don't be hasty. Let the lovely merangue-esque head half before you partake too. All good things in all good time.

neighbor664 · April 23, 2012, 01:04:43 AM

^ I just looked it up, all the BevMos by me don't have it in stock. I need to search or get it shipped. Fok!

You're not kidding this place is amazing. I've had an array of beverages.

10 Barrel ISA right now.

Holy shit!! So my new employers also have a bottle shop. They had a small fire about a year ago in their storage area where he had a shit ton of beer cellared. some of the labels were damaged and he had heat concerns but not really. To cover his ass he had to write off a bunch of the beer. Got paid out on insurance so he can't legally sell it but he can give it away. So yesterday i took a case of mixed things and i can go back for more. there are hundreds of bottles here's a few I came away with.

2009 Deschutes Mirror Mirror 22oz.
1999 J.W.Lees Harvest Ale Ltd.
Allagash Belgian Trippel batch# 155
Orval Trappiste Ale
Port Brewing collab. with De Proef Brouwerij ,Belgium. Signature Ale
Southern Tier Backburner Barleywine
Goose Island Pepe Nero Belgian

and a few others....oh happy day

edit* the Mirror Mirror is '09
