Mexican beer, as a whole, is some of the worst chit brewed. Corona leading the way down the drain.
Tecate is doable, Dos Equis is barley(ha!) tolerable, Modelo is dish water, and Victoria is likely the best of the bunch. It's amazing an entire country sucks at brewing beer. Bohemia is a fine beer..
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

I heard once of these things called 'matches'.... You need a big match so it can burn long enough to completely consume the phosphorus, sulphur, and wax from the lit end, and still have much match left, before you put the flame to a cigar. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.decent-cigar.com/images/cerillas04.jpg) These work great, too. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.lifeviewoutdoors.com/images/detailed/1/UCO-Stormproof-Matches.jpg) Those could be a bit much!

Really like this one as well....but not as much as Sculpin. ![[Linked Image]](http://savagehenrymagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/deschutes-fresh-squeezed.jpg) That entire brewery is schit. May as well shoot a RAR. Dave Troof!

I go back and forth between IPAs and Pale Ales and like to try "new ones" whenever I can. With what's readily available here, Ranger and Sierra Nevada seem to get consumed more than anything else. Bent Nail and Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPAs, and Scapegoat and Prickly Pear Pale Ales are others I'd buy again.

I used to be more of a hops fan, but anything like Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA is no longer a main beer for me.
Real Czech Pilsner is my biggest fridge filler these days, particularly Staropramen when it's available.

Quite a few IPAs are too hoppy for me - probably why I bounce between IPA and Pale Ales...

It's not just the hop level for me, the character of the hops matters too.

Staropramen is good cheap Pils! Haven't seen it in years!

Wow, a lot of IPA drinkers and 99% of us probably hadn't heard of it 10 years ago!

It's not just the hop level for me, the character of the hops matters too. That is why I like Sculpin, has good flavors and complexities without trying to punch you in the face. Seems like most IPA's are seeing who can get the highest IBU without regard to drinkability. I think the brewers can take a lesson from wine makers. Quality ingredients and processes make quality drinkability. I like Dos Equis lager(green bottle) and Leine's Summer Shandy for summer. Gin or Tequilla for the hard stuff. IPA's and Stouts for winter. Don't get too hung up on ABV as long as it tastes good. Bourbon or Tequilla for the hard stuff. Well past the days of drinking a six, give me one or two good ones that I can enjoy. If you want to drink a bunch, might as well get the water in a can.

So many great hops available today. NZ has really put some great hops out.

IPA has the word "India" in it....that's why they ALL suck.
The Big Sky crap was okay and some stuff here locally is tolerable, but for k-rist sakes if one wants more alcohol a schnapps nifter is easy to find.
PS: Anyone pimping a Mexican beer needs to live there....

Nothing wrong with "American" beer....its far better and more predictable than a town with a ditch or a cistern.....

WTF is a schnapps nifter?
Sounds gay.
