This is another well advertised beer on tv. I like the commercials.... the most exciting man in the world. big foot has taken a picture of him. He doesn't drink beer often but when he does....
This Mexican beer has a nice clean mild taste. You can tell it's beer and not bottled water though. A nice pleasant lager. Good beer for the hot days of summer.
The idea of the two X's was to commemorate the coming of the twentieth century back in 1897 when the company started in business.

You don't drink it out of a bloody plastic 'glass' do you?
A good beer deserves the thinnest of quality glass to do it justice.

That's not a plastic glass...that's a stadium cup. It's a take home cup from a beer I drank at a Mobile BaySharks baseball game a long time ago. The cups hold up well in the dish washer after untold number of washings. The local professional baseball team is now the Bay Bears and a double A club in the Southern League now part of the Arizona Diamondback franchise.
Just checked the junk in the garage....guess what?

I stands corrected and offer my apologies to you, Sir, and to your glass

There are a few places around here that has Dos Equis Amber on tap, had one tonight at a Chili's Restaurant.
The Amber is darker and has a more German lager taste to it, it's one of my favorites.
Both are brewed in Mexico, the Amber by Heineken, the other by MolsonCoors.
Pretty soon there will only be one brewer left in the world and they will just call it "Beer"...

Budweiser, America's "king of beers" is now owed by the Belgium-based company InBev. I had a few shares of Bud when the deal was made and was bought out for a couple of bucks more per share than what I paid for them. Probably made enough to buy a couple of cases of the stuff. But... I don't like the taste of Budweiser actually. Of course if someone offered me one for free...well ....that would be a horse of a different color.

Bud is not very good, I just don't like it. I wouldn't take a free one, and have actually turned down a few, would be a waste of beer, so I just tell them to give it to someone that will drink it...
I will drink a Bud Light, but like all "Light" beer, it tastes like they have mixed it with a real beer, 75% beer & 25% water.
But at least it doesn't taste bad.
