Summer is coming and it's time for some Mexican LagersMexican Lagers are so hot right now.  The CEO of Constellation brands even goes as far as saying he believes Modelo is about to become America's favorite beer.  The data kind of supports that claim, with Consellation's brands (including Modelo, Pacifico, and Corona) seeing 14% growth in the most recent quarter.  Craft breweries are cranking out more Mexican Lagers as well.  Most are simple drinkin' beers akin to a Pale Lager / Clara.  But some are going deeper into the genre with Vienna Lagers and others.To make matters even more confusing, if you look at Modelo Especial on Untappd it calls itself an American Lager, then description says it's a Pilsner.  This thing has quite the identity crisis going on.  Either way, Brian enjoyed this one but I thought it was a bit too sweet, especially if they are claiming it's a Pilsner.  Corona brought by memories of drinking in my younger days and I'd still crush several of these by the pool or on the beach if that's what's available.  For some craft representation we sampled Tactical Brewing's collaboration with Cholo Dogs - El Campéon.  This elote-inspired lager is brewed with smoked malt, flaked corn, tajin, and limes and was much more enjoyable than I expected.As the temps heat up many of these beers are perfect for cooling down.  No matter if they are America's favorite or not they're nice to pack in the cooler.Correction: We mention in this episode that Modelo is poised to take the top spot in American beer sales  Although this claim was made by Constellation's CEO, the data reflects sales for all Constellation brands and not just Modelo.  We apologize for lying to you like that and we'll do better in the future.The Beer ListMacroModelo EspecialModelo Negra (formerly Negra Modelo)Corona ExtraCorona PremierTecateCraftTactical Brewing El CampéonChihuahua (Blue) “Mexican American Lager”Arches Mexican EmpireStone BuenavezaTerrapin Los BravosIron Hill Lemon CervezaThanks for listening to Beer Guys Radio!
