mexican beer experts?

[vash]

ok, growing up in a bordertown (el paso, tx) we used to make underaged bar runs south of the border. i remember a beer company that bottled their stuff in these cool squat bottles that had an indention on the bottom of the bottle. the indention was shaped like a bottle cap. that way, you simply stick the new fresh bottle of beer into the bottom of the one you just drained and twisted the new cap off to frothy goodness. and repeat. alot.
was the company carta blanca? i cannot remember.

[SRISER]

Bohemia?

Carta Blanca. Only the ones produced for sale in Mexico. The bottles for export to he states were "normal" bottles. I used to work for a company that catered Mexicana airlines and that was the beer that they put on their planes. I do not know if any other brand used a similiar bottle.

right on, your first post and you answer my question. i am honored, gracias.

i may just have to go and pick up a few cases in juarez next time i am down there. damn, i was hoping the american bottles had the coolness. i thought it was carta blanca.

I have never understood the fascination with Corona. The beer sucks and even the Mexican locals (in Mexico), dont like it.

I thought that the novelty would die much the same way that
"Hawaiian Primo" did back in the 70's...

My favorite "Messican" Beer is XX Amber. My favorite "Mexican" is Salma Hayek...although she really isnt...

i like to go more mainstream and go with J-lo. i like dos XX amber too. goes great with my favorite NEW MECCA tacos.

corona really is the coors lite reject of the beer world. but with the strongest ad campaign.

I hope you guys will watch out for free-floating beer:

This holiday, watch out for those floating beer coolers
By ELAINE SHANNON

Sunday, Jun. 27, 2004
As the July 4 holiday approaches, Bush Administration officials are bombarding the nation's police, fire, emergency and corporate-security offices with another round of terrorism warnings. Although there are no plans to raise the threat level from yellow to orange, a senior Justice Department official says, "there's very serious intelligence that's corroborated, that's multiple sourced, that indicates that al-Qaeda is intent on hitting us and hitting us hard this year." The official concedes, however, that "we don't have specific information."

Along with this now familiar general warning, the FBI has introduced the specter of a new terrorism threat: booby-trapped beer coolers. A lightly classified bulletin sent to 18,000 state and local agencies last week advised local authorities to look out for plastic-foam containers, inner tubes and other waterborne flotsam commonly seen around marinas that could be rigged to blow up on contact. Also, the bulletin warned, terrorists might attach bombs to buoys. FBI and Department of Homeland Security officials say no such devices have actually been discovered, nor is there any current intelligence that terrorists are hatching plots involving floating bombs. But some officials believe al-Qaeda may be focusing on harbors and shipping channels in an effort to replicate the success of the October 2000 attack on the U.S.S. Cole in the port of Aden, in which suicide bombers used a small launch laden with explosives to rip a 40-ft. hole in the warship's hull, killing 17 sailors.

-------------------

I think it's a reach to link beer coolers with an inflatable boat packed with hundreds of pounds of explosives, but hey, who needs to be precise when you're just trying to distract people?

She is a mixed brew. "Father was born in Lebanon and came to Mexico to start a small business where he met Salma's mother" from IMDB -

I don't understand the fascination with Corona either but it is an inexpensive brew to serve when you have people over. My favorites in a bottle are Heinken and Amstel Light.

[COLDBASS]

Corona - It might be a "gringo" Orange County thang...LOL.

I try to serve Tecate with limes to the local Hodads attending my BBQs. Occassionally, someone says "What no Corona?" my response is "Close your eyes and I will pee in an empty Corona bottle, you wont taste the difference"... Damn ingrates

I have to admit, I maybe changin my handle...I used to enjoy BASS ale w/ a Guiness chaser...until I sampled a French Beer - Fischer Pale Ale, great brew. Unfortunately, I've been cleaning out the entire stock at "Beverages and More" in Huntington Beach...cant find it anywhere else...

Hmmm, all this talk about beer, warm day, quick trip to the frig...

That race was good - I almost wish they were all like that. Jeff Gordon pulled it off with almost no fuel left in the tank.

I was an upper valley boy for 4 years of my life. Went back to "the pass" about three years ago to visit some old friends. Went to Mexico also.

Took a raincheck on the donkey show, though.
