If you are traveling somewhere, say the beach a long way from home, and want a 12 pack of beer, what are you buying, presuming you're at a 7/11 or grocery store, not some special beer place?

I'd go for Sam Adams for me, my wife like Corona at the beach, I'd get her some, or 420 if they had that. (I like 420 better than Corona by a lot.)

But presume whatever you drink that is local is not available.

I went to a function of my esposita's 50th HS reunion party tonight and had a bottled Dos Equis from the bar.

It was fine. A nice summer beer.

depends on my mood and where I'm at and the weather(environment if inside)

on the beach, probably something lighter than Sam Adams, but not if it's cool
Budweiser is my regular
I'd also check what might be on sale

Just based on what you said, probably Pacifico. Texas gets stupid hot, and the air is thick enough to chew on. Under those conditions, I'll probably bring the fixins for ranchwater rather than beer, but if I gotta bring beer, it's Pacifico.

Pacifico is nothing special. Dos XX comes in the big old mini-keg, and is about the same. I can drink either on a hot day without slowing down much.

Now if we're on the beach and getting food, let me know. I'll bring a couple of half-gallon canning jars of gullywash.

Certainly a good point about weather/location considerations. It seems some here would migrate to a lighter beer, which of course I would do as well on the beach etc.

I don't really like Corona much, but it's fun to sit on a deck overlooking the ocean with the wife musing about life with a couple cold ones.

I had a couple of Shiner Bocks Saturday night--the 2nd/final night of my esposita's 50th HS reunion.

I don't think I had had any before. They were fine.

Shiner Bock used to be delicious, but when they sold out in the mid 90s the new owners cheapened everything. Now it just tastes like corn to me.

I like Pacifico a lot better than Dos Equis. My favorite Mexican beer by far is Bohemia, because it's a legitimately good example of a Czech pilsner over here on our side of the pond.

I had to pick from what was available. The alternatives were American macro-swill and probable IPAs. Both venues were more into mixed drinks than beer.

Yeah I still drink a Shiner Bock from time to time, it's just sad 'cause it's not nearly as good as it used to be.

I think I mentioned at baseball camp, they had only Bud Light or Mic Ultra. I tried the latter, it made the former taste like real beer.

This was in the club house, at the evening events they usually had something better.

I wonder if they will shift from BL given the controversy.

I've seen some reports that Modelo has taken over the best selling beer from bud light, but that seems odd to me.

not many Modelos sold around here

utee94 · « **Reply #725 on:** June 13, 2023, 11:25:44 PM »

Wow, that is shocking to me. I see plenty of Modelo around here of course, but there's also lots of Bud Light.

well, Busch light is the most popular here so who knows?

Fords are popular but I won't be driving one

same as Hondas or Toyotas

Bama might be the most popular football team

or Georgia

that's not my vibe
