That will help trim the mid section a bit. Aren't they like 2.4 carbs or something ridiculous?

Yes, and 2.4 out of ten for flavor.

The review just dropped today for this years. 89pts (same as last year) put the price is now a buck more than last year.

Good?

Cool! Good idea! So when are you going to crack open the beer? After you are finished with the Michelob?

We enjoyed a rando Pinot Gris. It was a 2018 Yakima Valley Pinot Gris called "Lone Birch." Never heard of it before, just grabbed it for ~$10 or so during a mad Coronavirus grocery dash. It was quite enjoyable; definitely in the Pinot Gris wheelhouse, but off in a corner of it. Lots of lychee and a bit of je ne sais quois. Nice with dinner, for sure.

I'm getting a 12 pack tomorrow and posting it just so people can razz you Varis! I hope it is good. I like Modelo Negra, not sure if I like the lighter variety.

That was the last one from a 6 pack my daughter bought, but wife bought a 20-pack from Costco that has different Mexican models, will check it out tomorrow.

It is one of the closest beers that mimics the Vienna style, which was really popular and well made in Mexico, but especially well made in years past in Texas. A protege of Dreher, who "invented" the style in Austria settled in Mexico, I believe (I'll have to go look at the book I have on the style) and replicated it with the ingredients he could get locally. The biggest thing to learn from Dreher was the use of the best possible ingredients you could obtain and not skimp to make an extra buck or two.

You upgraded from cans!

 

[Boatboy24]

A cheap Rose I grabbed at Wegman's. Only 8 bucks, but tastes like nine.

Had one of these earlier. Light, tropical and delicious. But at 7%, definitely not an 'all day' beer.

 

[geek]

@ceeaton Do you approve?
Wife bought a 20-pack of Mexican beer at Costco, on sale, different ones in the box, never tried this one but liking it. Well, is there any bad Mexican beer?? lol

 

[ceeaton]

A little light refreshment after a long hard prayer meeting. Not bad Varis!

Hmmm, are you sure you only poured 1 can in that cup Craig?
I saw that other picture you posted in the other thread and saw about 6 empty cans nearby!! Lol

I think the final count was seven by what is left in the 12 pack I got. Feel pretty good this morning so it must not be as alcoholic as I thought.

Started with wine and switched to beer, aka @ceeaton style
