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 likes Loveless Cafe Plain Ol’ Hot Sauce.

Off of Highway 100 in Nashville is a place called the Loveless Cafe. You may not be close enough to walk in but you can go to their web page and check out the stuff they make.

The Plain Ol’ Hot Sauce is one of the secret ingredients the Dude of Food adds to his homemade micheleada recipe. It adds the perfect amount of spice. Truth be told, the Dude of Food also likes Red Rooster from Louisiana hot sauce. They both go great in my micheladas and on my grits, greens, smothered chicken, gravy, stuffing  and waffles.
