As far as real beer is concerned, I tend to lean towards brown ales, stouts and porters. A little more on the malty side. The current fascination U.S. craft brewers have with overly hopped IPAs is sort of silly IMO. How about some balance?
***** Creek ESB by Grand Teton Brewing is a favorite, there are many others. Guinness Foreign Export. McEwen's Scotch Ale, Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron.
I grew up on Mexican beer. Tecate and Negra Modelo. To me Carta Blanca is hardly heavy, pretty much like any American fizzy yellow beer, maybe a little more taste. I still like Negra in the summer as it's refreshing while not being insipid. The only Mexican beer I really dislike is Corona. Horse piss. The whole idea of lime in beer was invented by Corona as a way to disguise it's nasty skunk taste.
An interesting side note. Around Idaho Falls, Idaho are thousands of acres of barley fields. Most of that barley goes to a giant, state of the art malting facility where it is sprouted and dried and loaded onto train cars. Guess where it goes? To the Cervecerķa Modelo plants that produce Corona in Mexico. Modelo actually owns the malting facility in Idaho and employs hundreds of local Idahoans. Modelo is now of course owned by Inbev, the same people who own Buttwiper.
