Recently someone handed me a Corona and said "here man, this is probably your favorite beer now" at a barbeque. Fact is... it's not. Unfortunately, the image of Mexican beer in the U.S. is not a good one. Nor is the image of American beer in other parts of the world...

However... brewers in both countries are finally producing good (or at least respectable) craft beers; ales, bocks, lagers and marzens...

What is your favorite Mexican Beer?

I for one get excited when November hits and Noche Buena is in stores... but when it isn't I reach for Casta (if available), Bohemia Oscura, or if need be, Victoria and Indio with some michelada mix.

I like anything dark that tastes a bit European. I would have voted for Leon but Bohemia (dark) comes a close second. Anything that isn't dark tastes like nats p�ss to me.

I like the darker beers as well. I just can't see the point in drinking a light beer because they don't seem to have much flavour. So Bohemia is it for me.

Bohemia, la crema de las cervezas. It honestly does taste creamy. Even the light one.

AHHH Bohemia Obscura! Now that's a beer.

Noche Buena is right up there for me.

I also like Leon and Victoria--not on your list!

I won't touch a Corona or anything like that. I wind up drinking Victoria or Indio because they are widely available where I live and Bohemia is not.

Has anyone tried Minerva? It seems to be local to Guadalajara and a little bit difficult to find. But, I really liked it.

They make the new "Malverde" beer. Interesting marketing idea. Has anyone seen it?
