    That's awesome. Tecate is the only beer that actually tastes better in a can than a bottle IMO.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Tecate is also a direct import from Mexico. It's not brewed under license like alot of other Mexican beers. It's imported through White Plains, NY though.

    It used to be an independent from like the late 1800's I think it was? It was bought in 1955 by the same company that brews Dos Equis and a bunch of other beers that don't get exported to the States. They had a whole, detailed history on the website for it but it's all gone and "Under Construction" notice is up. Otherwise, I'd verify the names and such.

    Tecate is one of my favorite imports and makes a GREAT summer beer! I also like it with spicy food. The light body and taste compliments a fiery fare well. Alot of people don't like it. It's like Rolling Rock in it's acquired taste status. Well, not so much anymore because Rolling Rock sucks now that Anheuser-Busch took brewing away from Latrobe and sent it to it's plants in Newark, NJ. I dunno what it is. Rolling Rock was an acquired tastes but it was never "bad", just different. It used alot of corn and rice in the recipe so it had a harsher taste reminiscent of a cheap, un-aged whiskey. Now, it just tastes and smells skunky all the time. At least Anheuser-Busch did one thing for the Rolling Rock brand and that was make it consistent, even if it is consistently bad.

    Oh, I also heard that late in 2006, City Brewing Company purchased the Latrobe Brewing Company plant. City doesn't have any of it's own brands, at least none that are widely available outside of Wisconsin, it's just a contractor plant at the Latrobe location. So now, Samuel Adams beers are brewed there.

    +100000 on Rolling Rock. "Perpetually skunky" comes to mind. I also feel the same way about Becks. Maybe the green bottle is acting as a placebo effect?

    It didn't used to be though. I would hit a skunky one or two or sometimes a whole batch every so often but I drank it enough that I had many more good ones than bad ones. The pony bottles and cans tended to fare better than the 12 oz variety. Besides, it was a beer that wasn't a light beer and was always on the dollar specials at the local bars when I was in college.

    I was always bewildered how people could like Heineken for this very reason. Rolling ROck tastes like ambrosia of the Gods compared to the ****-**** skunky taste of Heineken, yet everyone seems convinced it's awesome? I feel like there's Bose-level brainwashing going on there.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    That is some good stuff. Have you tried their Black and Blue? Made with black raspberries and blueberries, it's nowhere near as fruity as I thought it may be.

    Looks like you have a good selection from Dogfish Head out there, nice!

    I have not tried the black and blue yet, I see it was released in April. Will have to ask the beer guy if they can get some.

    I'm pretty luck to live close to a Grocery store that has an incredible beer selection. They emphasize on craft brews and special order a lot of stuff.

    I have yet to really find a dogfish beer that I don't like. Most are pretty strong, but they do a great job on masking the alcohol taste. Can't wait to try the Immort Ale tonight.

    The next one looking forward to is the World Wide stout that comes out this fall. Had it last November and it is probably in my top 5 stouts.

    I enjoy two types of beer an awful lot. For everyday drinking, I enjoy Sam Adams Honey Porter as well as their namesake lager. For special occasions, I'll whip out the Belgian Lucifer, a triple that has a hint of honey and is FANTASTIC.

    Haven't seen the "Old Engine Oil" yet, but I will check some of my stores and give it a try.

    I've hit the jackpot over the past couple days on rare Stouts and Porters. I got quite the collection started here. Can't wait to try them all. I drank one of the Stone 12th Anniversaries tonight it was delicious.

    New Belgium Fat Tire
    New Belgium Frambozen (raspberry beer that is fruity and delicious)

    Obviously, I'm a New Belgium fanboy. Still the best brewery in the country. Exclusively wind powered. Must make the beer taste better.

    My favorite New Belgium Beer is the Trippel. New Belgium is definitely green with all Bio Diesel trucks, wind powered and they also have a wastewater treatment facility that produces 15% of the brewery’s electricity needs.

    AMEN. I never got it either. Why would you want a beer that tastes like a skunk **** in your bottle? And I do agree in that every single green bottle beer ends up with that same taste/aroma.

    Desparately seeking some Kilkenny right now, but I don't think its exported to the US at all, so I may be out of luck.
