So lately I've been reading up on Mexican Lager. To my surprise I learn that Mexican Lager is NOT (traditionally) Corona, but is actually a modified form of Vienna Lager.
So I'm interested in a shopping list (whatever I can get around here) to get a good feel for the style, before jumping right into brewing my own.
Here's what I've found:
First, Beer Advocate HATES Mexican Lager (http://beer-snobs.blogspot.com/2009/02/beer-advocate-vs-mexican-beers.html). The only favorable ratings they give are to Bohemia and Negra Modelo. Fine. I'll give those a shot (if I can even find Bohemia).
Pacifico and Dos Equis are available at every grocery store. It's been a while since I've had either, but I'll give them a try too.
Tecate comes in cans, but I won't let that deter me if folks say it's worth it.
Any others?
