"I can't drink IPA anymore, it hurts. Actual pain in the stomach."
It's the end of an era. You're the one who actually got me into IPAs. A moment of silence, please.
So Mexican Nazi beer for Danny in the future. Check.
And this.

Yeah, that stuff is seriously good! I bought another bottle the day after Carlisle.
I wonder if I can find that around here.
Probably, they had some in Carlisle(that was bottle number two that you lushes sucked down!)

@DannyP posted:Y'all realize that a lot of said Mexican beer was brewed by ex-Nazis who fled Germany after the war? South America and Mexico is chock-full of honest-to-goodness German Lagers.
Good stuff!
Although I used to be an all-around beer aficionado, I can't drink IPA anymore, it hurts. Actual pain in the stomach. Regular beer is fine, hoppy beer=pain.
Sours are just disgusting. I would happily drink any of the beer in Stan's fridge.
Tonight I had a couple Stella Artois, a bunch of guys retired at my former job. A good time was had.
Modelo is Mexican beer, but has German roots.
You might recall from history class that Germans were migrating to America in droves in the 1800s, and many stopped in places like Pennsylvania. But plenty of immigrants continued west and south to places like Texas and northern Mexico, bringing with them farming techniques, trades, crafts — and brewing habits. By the early 20th century, when Modelo was born, Mexico had around 35 breweries.
At least part of the reason Modelo emerged is thanks to the little-remembered reign of Austrian-born “Emperor of Mexico” Maximilian I. Maximilian, who got into his unlikely position by the regular means (wheeling and dealing with Napoleon III, for example). His reign in Mexico was short-lived — lasting from April 1864 to 1867 — but he did bring with him a pronounced taste for German- and Austrian-style beers, which continued to influence the growing world of Mexican brewing.
