Beer or ice cream?

Depending where the meet takes place in Mexico I would have different beers: Corona, Victoria, Negra Modelo, León, Pacífico, Tecate, Montejo, Bohemia, Lager, Noche Buena (available only in December).:)

Depending where the meet takes place in Mexico I would have different beers: Corona, Victoria, Negra Modelo, León, Pacífico, Tecate, Montejo, Bohemia, Lager, Noche Buena (available only in December). originally posterd by Alex While I was in Ajijic over Christmas break (near Guadalajara) I enjoyed a lot of Estrella Cervesa. I liked it as much as Corona, Negro Modelo, or Dos Equis in fact. I noticed that you didn't mention either Estrella or Dos Equis in your posting Alex? My dad said that Estrella is considered to be a relatively cheap beer in Mexico (and I believe it may be made by Corona?)...but none-the-less, I really liked it anyway....What is your opinion, Alex, on both Estrella and Dos Equis?...(just curious). Newmastersswimmer p.s. Thanks for the info on Dead Guy Amber Ale Kirk......Have you tried it as well? .......and if so what did you think of it? And for Peter and Geochuck:....Canadian Beer is o.k. I guess....but IMO there are better American Microbrews....and Mexican beer is better as well....especially with a twist of lime.....sorry to all the Canucks out there for my opinion though(NOT...LOL!!)

Jim- obvious that you haven't tried our B.C. micros. If you're ever up this way, I'll show you. originally posted by Peter Cruise o.k. sounds good to me......maybe you can then show me the error in my ways. Newmastersswimmer p.s. And to Kirk.....Hopefully I can make it to next years SCY Nationals and we can all go out for a few of those good Microbrews....I'll just have to wait and see how things go between now and then.

Originally posted by chickadee First Congrats to Dobbie on the Cascading chowder, I havent seen someone do that since my college days at the Univeristy of Maine at Orono, 1981 which was probably the last time I did one. no one ever believes me when I describe it so I am down loading the picture. QUOTE] That wasn't after a trip to the Guvnah's was it? Or perhaps a little too much chili at a Barstan's happy hour??? Ah, Orono, what a lovely place to be from . . . See ya Brian Go Black Bears!!!

Ah Brian, how does a guy in CA know about Guvnahs ( very good pronunciation by the way or Barstan's) Gov's does have the cookie monster 2 huge chocolate chip cookies with ice cream in between and then dipped in chocolate, and I have split their Federal Deficit Mega Sundae on a few occasions ( which is the equivalent of 6 sundaes with all the toppings...),but my chowder days were at Pats Pizza. Cheap pizza - cheap beer, I dont think it mattered what type of beer it was and it long before micro breweries, it was more about how much did a pitcher of it cost - But our family is headed to Ireland this summer, so I think I will need to switch my focus to sampling beers in small pubs.

Since I posted this on the poll thread about icecream vs beer, I will post it here as well. Has anyone tried Ben and Jerry's Pistachi Pistachio icecream yet? I highly recommend it to anyone who likes pistachios and icecream.....very yummy stuff IMO!! Newmastersswimmer
