Cinco De Mayo

Good question. I haven't seen anyone drink a Dos Equis in many years. Even in my diverse community with immigrants from Mexico, central, and south America, Modelo and Corona are the popular beers at gatherings -- never seen a Dos Equis. Honestly, I can't remember I last saw a Dos Equis -- I used to serve them when I worked at Chi-Chi's back in my college days -- but since then, I dunno.
I like Modela and Corona, but I'm most likely to order Dos Equis Amber. That said, I'm not a big beer drinker. I probably don't have four beers in a year. We have a Hofbrauhaus here, and I have a favorite beer there. I always try to get there for the Oktoberfest every year for the Oktoberfest beer as it's the exact same one they are serving in Munich. My favorite beer is actually a French beer, but only on tap, so as far as I know the closest place I can get it is Montreal. I might luck out and get it in Toronto.neonzx wrote: ↑Wed May 05, 2021 11:20 amGood question. I haven't seen anyone drink a Dos Equis in many years.

Me, I'm cheap ... I drink Natural Light (Bud Light if I'm gonna splurge ).
I misspoke when I said my splurge is Bud Light. It's actually Yuengling (same price as Bud Light) (PA beer -- "oldest continuously operating brewery in the USA"). I can drink that lager at room temp.AndyinPA wrote: ↑Wed May 05, 2021 12:07 pm I like Modela and Corona, but I'm most likely to order Dos Equis Amber. That said, I'm not a big beer drinker.

I think this beer snob just stepped into the wrong thread. I will back out now.neonzx wrote: ↑Wed May 05, 2021 11:20 amGood question. I haven't seen anyone drink a Dos Equis in many years.

I'm the same way. You can put a six pack in my fridge, come back next year, and help yourself to a cold one.woodworker wrote: ↑Wed May 05, 2021 5:13 pm I bought a case of Modelo at Costco. I drink a bottle if I make a hamburger or chili and when I can't fall asleep. So far, I think I have had 5 or 6 bottles out of the case I got 6 months ago. I better speed it up.May 5.jpg

woah.. sorry. this is not the way 5 May is supposed to work.
I don't drink beer much - maybe two per year - but there are some incredible craft beers in this town that are very, very excellent. Come up here some day and I'll expand your horizons.Frater I*I wrote: ↑Thu May 06, 2021 12:14 pm There are only two beers:
Guinness and Killian's Red.
The rest is dirty dish water.
Thats a man who knows beer his beer, but XX Obscura is better than Amber. We can get Negro Modelo in Australia, but not XX Obscura, only amber, to my decades long regret.Tiredretiredlawyer wrote: ↑Thu May 06, 2021 10:03 am Love me some Dos Equis Ambar and Modelo Negra!!!
Yo quiero los Dos Equis Ambar y Modelo Negra!
I tend to do the IPA thing the most, usually with stuff from Bell's (Two Hearted Ale, Double Two Hearted, Hopslam, etc), Three Floyds, Deschutes, Dogfish Head (90 Minute IPA), Greenbush, Revolution brewing etc.Tiredretiredlawyer wrote: ↑Thu May 06, 2021 10:06 amWhich beers do you prefer?northland10 wrote: ↑Thu May 06, 2021 8:29 am

I like pale ales. Sounds like we could safely store each other's stash knowing it wouldn't be Bogarted.Tiredretiredlawyer wrote: ↑Fri May 07, 2021 10:36 pm I've tried IPA's and wheat beers, but prefer the ambers and dark beers.
