Tecate vs. Dos Equis

[IX_Equilibrium]

I love both of them. I really do.

I usually end up drinking Dos Equis since I prefer beer in a bottle and Tecate in a bottle is alot less common.

However, this weekend I had the opportunity to compare both of them, side by side, in a bottle. I took a sip of one, and then the other right after. The verdict?

I actually though the Tecate had a better taste. It was smoother, and had a better aftertaste. Still, they are both fine beers.

[ladiesman]

Next Challenge should be Sol vs Pacifico....

When you live as far south as I do no Mexican beer is uncommon. Progresso. :elephant

Tecate is very common. Just not in a bottle. Most places in San Antonio just have in a can.

In my opinion, Pacifico would win that one easily.

Corona is the worst of the Mexican beers. At least of the Mexican beers that are sold here.

Also, try Bohemia. Good stuff.

Bohemia is THE BEST!

But to go back to the original question, Dos XX in the dark bottle. I don't like Dos XX in the green one.

[bigzak25]

maybe that's why it needed lime? :lol

i might try bohemia. thanks. :smokin

[Flea]

Modelo Especial in a bottle.......definitely the best.
I would then go for Pacifico and then Tecate would be 3rd followed by Dos Equis and finally Corona.

I would take all of the above over Bud anytime.

They sell Corona de Barril in Mexico. It is in a brown bottle. They serve them up ice cold and are great. Regular Corona is crap, now that I tried Dos XX. You need to dress the Corona in order for to taste good. :(

[Gatita]

Only problem with Bohemia and Modelo they are not that easy to find in stores. Modelo you can find it in cans.

[tlongII]

Pacifico is my favorite beer in Mexico.

[Shelly]

Modelo is good also.

Ever had Tsing Tao? Pretty damn good too.

[ladiesman]

The most popular (consumed) beer in Mexico for the las 5-7 years is Sol. As far as the worst mex beer, I would have to go with Carta Blanca a.k.a Caca blanca...

Pacifico, Sol, Tecate in that order for me....

HEB usually carries the bottles but they are hidden on the shelf.....not cold.

I LOVE Tsing Tao......goes well with sushi.

That is why I can't find them. Damn HEB. I like my stuff cold and ready to go! :)

Shouldn't you be drinking Sapparo then?

:lol

[1369]

Good beers from outside CONUS that I've had and wish I could find here:

Parbo-Suriname (Best of the lot)
Quilmes-Argentina
Brahma Chopp-Brazil
Toohey's Stout-Australia

[CosmicCowboy]

IMHO the best mexican beer...

For those of you staying in today, I will make sure to go out and drink plenty of Mexican brew for you guys. Hasta luego! :)

BINGO!

I like Dos X and Tecate, but really nothing comes close to a cold Modelo and big platter of Tex-Mex.

[manustarting2gd]

Bohemia is the best in my opinion..followed closely by Negra Modelo, a near third is Pacifico , next in fourth is Tecate, followed by Dos Equis Lager. Those to avoid, piss beer #1.. Corona.. piss beer #2 Carta Blanca. To those who drink these sad representations of a real Mexican beer, I feel for ya.

[baseline bum]

My #1 Mexican beer has to be Dos XX (in the green bottle). Sol is OK. Tecate tastes like water, and Corona is overrated. Modelo Especial is good, but I can only find it in cans. I like Negro Modelo better though, and thankfully I can only find it in bottles. I can't stand Bohemia or Pacifico.

Still... I usually just make my life easy and buy Guinness (or MGD if I'm broke). As much as I like Dos XX, it's no Guinness.

[Duff McCartney]

Anybody ever tried Christmas Beer? I'm sure that's not the name of it but that's what they called it when I was in Germany, they sold it around the holidays. In fact I think I saw some of it at HEB this past holiday season but I can't be sure.

[Gatita]

I tried Bohemia tonight and Tecate. Tecate was the winner. I drank both with Patron. Yum Yum!!

[Gatita]

I even went out and bought a 12 of Tecate.....Yew Haw!! Good stuff!

[E20]

I usually have to sell both these brands at my job every 10 seconds. And the smell of beer is HORRIBLE when stocked together in a fridge. I am the BEER MASTER!

And now you are my friend. Deal with it.....please... :lol

[Duff McCartney]

Paulaner Hefe-Weizen was another beer I tried in Germany. It was pretty good, and I don't even like beer.

[thispego]

Sol... next question

[Gatita]

Sol... next question

Shat up! Between Tecate and Bohemia....Tecate wins. I need two more challengers.

[thispego]

haha, ok...
mississippi mud or black hook

You better not be giving crap to drink....ya here boy?!! :lol

Bing, Bing, Bing! German brews blow everything else out of the water. but since this is a topic about mexican beers drink modelo or corona. both are pretty much american owned!

[Kori Ellis]

Tecate is only good with salt. Corona with lime is decent. I don't like Dos Equis for some reason. I've never had Bohemia or the others you guys mentioned.

[E20]

Has anybody tried the German import St. Pauls Girl? The girl on the cover is hot hot hot.

That's one of my favorite beers, though it smells nasty. Everyone makes fun of me for drinking it.

[baseline bum]

I think Patrón is the most overrated tequila I've ever had. It's expensive as hell, and I don't think Mexicans actually drink it. Even El Jimador beats Patrón IMO, and El Jimador is ridiculously cheap in Mexico. Herradurra, El Conquistador, and Don Julio Añejos all put Patrón to shame IMO, and they're all the price of Patrón or less.

[MI21]

So what mexican beer should I be asking for? In Australia the only mexican beer I have seen that I can remember is Corona, of course only ever drink it with lemon/lime. It's ok, nothing great though.

So I should be asking around to see if anywhere has Dos Equis huh?

[Ocotillo]

maybe that's why it needed lime? :lol



You have stumbled upon a beer drinking secret. If you have to drink a beer that you don't like, add lime and salt and it becomes passable.

I discovered that with Pearl once. It doesn't have to be Mexican beer to add lime and salt.

[Shelly]

I'm also very fond of Amstel Light.

Yum.

I cannot stand Samuel Adams, but like Sam Adams Light. I haven't figured that one out, yet.

an anejo should taste better because it is aged at least a year. patron silver is not an anejo tequila. patron makes a reposado and a anejo.

and what isn't cheap in mexico! haha

The Anejo 1800 is some good stuff.

Now try Pacifico or Modelo Especial in a bottle against Tecate.( Since you have so much tecate....or did you drink it all???) :lol

El Jimador went the cheap route because it is no longer 100% agave. It is now a blend. Corralejo seems to be the most popular (consumed) tequila right now, well at least within my circle of acquantences (SP). I prefer don Julio. Also Don Porfidio Anejo is very good, but freaking expensive.

To whomever brought up the Christmas beer, I think the name of it is Nochebuena.

OK, got to go call my AA councelor now...

peace

[bigzak25]

you know, after a few shots of tequila, or a few bottles of brew....can you still taste it?

seriously, cuz, i'm not much of a drinking connoisseur and i don't normally drink dark beers, i've never drank guiness, that paintball in the can thing is intimidating....

and when i drank shiner the other day, by the third glass? it was pretty smooth.

and i know if i'm on my 3rd texas tea or tequila sunrise, it's all the same by that time...

are you a sipper? cuz i drink anything like it's water. well, maybe i'll sip coffee. but that's it, damn it.

in puerto rico? the had medalla. the ll is like a j sound though. good stuff.

i think i fall in love with whatever beer is available when i'm not at home.

[ladiesman]

It depends I guess... The first question that one needs to address is...

Am I going for quality, or quantity? And you take it from there....

[timvp]

IMHO the best mexican beer...

http://www.soaresantiques.com/images/beer%20bottles/8370.jpg

Yeah, I'm drinking this now and it's damn good. Thanks to whoever brought it to the GTG and left it out our house.

:drunk

[ObiwanGinobili]

I'm late joining in this thread......but here's my two cents.

in the Tecate vs. Dos XX contest I'll have to go with Dos Equis.... of course I've never had Tecate in a bottle, only in a can.

as far as my Fav. Mexican beers go
Sol
Modelo
Dos XX

in that order.
I don;t even count Corona as beer. It;'s colored water.

[ShoogarBear]

That was me for game 3. Modelo, Tecate, and Sam Adams. Seemed the least I could do.

Surprised it's still there, you must not have done much drinking during game 4. :lol

[Low End Specialist]

INDIO is Mexico's best beer. You can only get it in Mexico. :drunk

This is the right answer.

[MannyIsGod]

We did, but that place was stocked more than a damn bar after the series of GTGs.

I like Dos XX, Modelo, and Tecate. Corona is shit as far as I'm concerned.

However, I prefer darker beers most of the time. Shiner is still a hell of a beer especially when you consider the price. Warstiener is awesome as well.

Tequila? Give me Sauza. I've had Patron and it does down well, but I can get a bottle of Sauza for half the price thats twice as big. If I'm in the mood to have smooth liqour, I'll opt for Grey Goose.

[JustEnough]

Definately not a mexican beer, but has anyone else tried the new Budweiser Select?

I'm not a big beer fan, but Bud Select is hard to beat, in my opinion.

[CaptainHook]

Tecate is the shit
