Cinco de Mayo

Next Thursday is Cinco de Mayo. Why that should have become a drinking holiday is beyond me. The rising popularity of Mexican beers and promotions by the big brewing companies behind them is my guess.

My problem is I don't much like Mexican beers. Corona? Hoc spit. And adding a lime doesn't make it any better and just ruins a good lime. I like the taste of Dos XX amber but it gives me terrific headaches and I don't even have to drink much (I know what you were thinking), too much preservatives me guesses.

Negro Modelo would be my choice. And no fruit in my beer please. Save the lime for the fish tacos.
