Beer Of The Week-May 4

Cinco De Mayo celebrants tomorrow will whoop it up with Corona, Tecate and tequila.
Sure, it's kind of cool to jam a lime slice down a Corona bottle, plug up the mouth with a thumb and turn it over so the lime goes to the bottom. I've always seen this as a kind of frat-boy thing to do, though.
This year, I recommend what I consider to be Mexico's best beer: Negra Modelo, produced by the same folks who brew Corona products.
Negra Modelo is a rich, crisp, not-too-heavy dark beer in the category as Shiner Bock and goes well with any meal. It can be found at every liquor store and most grocery stores as well.
A six-pack of bottles is moderately priced, in the $6 to $7 range.
Oh, and I recommend laying off the limes with this one. It has enough flavor on its own.
Fiesta!
