Mexican lager beer and micheladas.

Some Mexican lagers

Above you see pictured some of Mexico’s famous lager beers. Not pictured are Estrelle Jalisco, Corona Familiar, Montejo and Victoria.

It’s interesting because my German friends who visit the states choose Mexican lagers when they are here. They resemble Munich helles beer.

Another thing about Mexican lagers are that they are similar to Munich helles in the ABV. They both share a light roughly 5% count.

  • Bohemia Lt 5.3 %
  • Carte Blanca 4 %
  • Corona Extra 4.6 %
  • Corona Familiar 4.8%
  • Dos Equis Green 4.2 %
  • Estrelle Jalisco 4.5 %
  • Modelo Especial 4.5 %
  • Modelo Negro 5.4 %
  • Montejo 4.5 %
  • Pacifico 4.5 %
  • Sol 4.5 %
  • Tecate 3.9 %
  • Victoria 4 %

Now you see why you can drink so many while trying to hit the pinata.

In Munich three major breweries are Augustiner, Hacker – Schorr und Lowenbrau.

  • Augustiner Helles 5.2 %
  • Hacker-Schorr 5.5 %
  • Lowenbrau 5.2 %

Germans don’t put anything in their beers but in the Americas we do. In Mexico they make an awesome drink called a Michelada. Now the Dude of Food is making them here.

2 great michelada mixes. Both on Instagram

Next Sunday while waking up and letting the sun shine in try making some of these delicious day starters while planning what to BBQ.

If you love fish then you will certainly love adding these mixes to your favorite ceviches. I add the spicier, LA Pinche Mezcla, to mine and it is the best! Guaranteed satisfaction. It’ll make you wanna say Odele!

The Dude of Food makes Obatzda just like a Munich beer garden, kind of.

obatzda 11The 1st Obatzda the Dude of Food ever made in his westside kitchen was fairly decent. It wasn’t just like Munich Obatzda but I have to say it sure helped ease the longing I have to be back in Munich with my friends at one of its many beautiful beer gartens. The Obatzda made by the Dude of Food wasn’t exactly the right color and was lumpier. It also wasn’t mixed as well as the Obatzda you find in Munchen and probably had something to do with the Gruyere cheese I used. 

What mine did do for my spirit though, was remind me of all my Bavarian friends und the gut times we’ve spent together eating obatzda, stecklefisch, pizza, chicken, goulasch, knudel, donors or pretzels while drinking Augustiner Brau Helles beer and enjoying nature.

The Obatzda the Dude of Food made was pretty darned good and my mind happily filled in the blanks. I love brotziet und look forward to having more my next time back in Minga, Bavaria. Prost.
