Hal, I'm surprised you can't find Sierra Nevada easily; it's widely distributed all over NYC & NJ, not sure about the rest of the east coast. I bought a six-pack of
Summerfest a couple of months ago for a party. I'm not a fan of Mexican beer in general, but I agree that Negra Modelo is generally their best, mostly because it's the only one that has even pretends to have a little body. It's an okay medium lager, which goes well with spicey Mexican food. Kind of the way I'd never drink Peroni on its own, but it's a good choice with cheap Italian food. (IMO, the best part of Peroni is the
glass. Oh those sexy Italians...)
Full disclosure: When I'd rather have a light soft drink than a beer to cool down in the hot summer, I'll admit to reaching for the occasional Corona. But I'm not proud of it.
