LETS DO THIS!!!!

So I don't know exactly how many people are like me but I have always wanted to try and home brew some beer. I always thought that it would come out like.... well... shit. I would think that I don't have the expensive equipment that the huge breweries do. 

Well thats just not the attitude to have so I thought that among the 100 other things I am going to do I would try and brew my own beer. So I went on a search for how to brew at home and I found more information than I knew what to do with. I will post my journey (along with a few other things) and let you know what has worked and what just sucked!

I found a couple websites that would be helpful for those brave few like me that might want to give this a shot:

Drink up me hearties!

tomorrows the day....

Alright here we are the day before Cinco de Mayo and I am laggin on the posts. What can I say it was my birthday and I had some serious beer time, thats the next post though.

So here we go as promised tomorrow when you are dusting those $2 tacos and $2 drafts (thats what i'm going to be having at Mi Ranchito in Upland) this is the beer you need to choose. 

Negro Modelo is easily the best mexican beer out there. This beer is smooth, it has flavor, its easy to drink, it goes with every kind of mexican food you can think of and its still light enough where you can have a few without feeling heavy. This is a malty and spicy brew that will change your entire perception of all that is mexican beers, don't be surprised after having this beer if you don't want to go back to the Corona's and Tecate's.

I would put the website for Modelo here but alas its distributed by Corona... 

So I cant just leave you with one choice here, my 2nd option here if Negro Modelo is not there is Bohemia. This is another beer that will take you away from the "typical" mexican beer. This is a solid option that has a nice taste of hops to it but still finishes smooth and slightly sweet. 

heres the website (hope you speak spanish) http://www.ccm.com.mx/

Alright so get out there have some carne asada tacos and drink some beer!

Salud'
