Friday is
Cinco de Mayo. Do you know what that means?
If you replied, "that the Applebee's next to the on-ramp had better pull down all those remaining 'St. Patrick's Day' and 'Kiss Me I'm Irish' streamers," you'd be wrong (although they probably should).
It means that you and your hombre had better go stock up on some cervezas, hermanita.
Everybody
knows Negra Modelo and Corona, and everybody knows the differences between them: namely, that Negra Modelo is for frat
boys, Corona for sorority girls. But here are four very-slightly-off-the-beaten-path options:
Bohemia: The Rey of Beers, this smooth, medium-bodied pilsener has been brewed since 1900. It's named after the famous beer-brewing region of what is now the Czech Republic.
Pacifico: The top-selling beer in Mexico, Pacifico is a pilsner. American travelers to the Baja Peninsula have brought back a fondness for this golden, full-flavored beer.
Tecate: Medium-bodied. Never in bottles. If you're a fan of the can, Tecate (teh-kah-tay) is your beer.
Dos Equis: A Vienna-style lager. The name translates to "Two X's" or XX. Not to be confused with XXX, that movie with Vin Diesel. Watch XXX only after several Dos Equis.
