Sam Adams' Boston Lager is too hoppy for my taste.  I like the Boston Ale better.
I do as well, but have not seen it in years.  SA makes all sorts of other renditions, but no ales.

I still like the lager about as well as anything.

I guess I haven't had SA Boston Ale in several years either.  Maybe Sam doesn't brew that variety anymore.

My esposita picked up some Josephsbrau WinterBrew from Trader Joe's.  It's a double-bock lager.  Pretty good for the relatively cheap price, IMO.

As far as Mexican beers, Modelo isn't very good, but Negra Modelo is.

And Bohemia is actually a VERY good rendition of a typical European pilsner.




Mexico has a beer thats not Corona

They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

Oh yeah, they have a bunch of national brands, their equivalents of our Bud-Miller-Coors. There's Dos Equis, Carta Blanca, Sol, Tecate.  None of those are particularly good, but I do like Pacifico Clara, although it's yet another macro, it's a pretty light pilsner/lager but still has good flavor, the perfect beer served ice cold after mowing the lawn in July heat.

And Mexico has a burgeoning craft brew industry as well, like most countries around the world.

Lone Star is not a tasty beer.  It's also not owned by a Texas company nor is it brewed by a Texas company, so there you have it.

I had one once.  It was my lone sample, and not a star.
