Cinco de Mayo!

Munkus Beaver

It's Cinco de Mayo! Which roughly translates to "That day in America everyone does shots of tequila, drinks Corona (optional), and overall gets flat out drunk.

It's also my birthday! But as a cruel twist of fate, I can't drink not even once. So you have to drink even more!

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Talk about yonder plans of nighttime festivities that you shall attend! Discuss drunken stories of ribaldry! Etc.! It's Cinco de Mayo! The day we stole from Mexican culture to turn into a day where we just flat out drink!

I can't buy Tecate at Florida gas stations! I can't buy it anywhere in Florida actually I've literally never seen it on shelves

Clint Eastwood

Its pretty decent for what it is. Not as good as say negra modelo but then again what is

But why drink Corona if you've got options

This is not anywhere near true in Chicagoland/NWI/SWMI.

It's probably not even true in Florida.

Do they not sell Dos Equis there? Because Dos Equis is better than Corona, if we're just talking mass-market Mexican style beers.

Almost anything is better than Corona

Today is also my mother's birthday and my best friend from high school.

I will probably have some lagunitas IPA tonight.

I've had both and I strenuously disagree

Reminder that Cinco de Mayo isn’t actually a national Mexican holiday. it is a holiday that is only celebrated in Puebla and it commemorates Mexican armies fighting off the invasion of French armies even though the French armies outnumbered the Mexican forces. It is not “Mexican Independence Day,” that’s celebrated on September 16th.

Happy Birthday Munkus.

Corona can be bought for $9 for a regular bottle over here :rotate:

It's one of our fancy beers

Corona gives me the worst fucking hangovers.

Hrm. My wife is going to be at a work thing (and is pregnant anyway) and my friends are out of town. Maybe I'll go see Age of Ultron?

Inquisitor

I'm probably going to go to a board game cafe and play some games and drink some coffee tonight.

Tuesday is a dumb day to have a drinking holiday occur on.

Happy surprise beating the French day!

Liking Corona is ok and Corona is ok. It's light, not bitter, and somewhat refreshing. There are beers better at those things but you can do much worse.

Mego Thor

I don't always drink beer..

well... yes. Yes I do.

Raijin Quickfoot

Corona is the worst beer.

Actually, Heineken is the worst beer. Corona is second worst.

If you want a good yellow beer in a clear bottle find a Landshark. Those aren't bad.

yes

landshark is what corona wants to be

minirhyder

Or any craft summer ale. They're made to be light and refreshing, and they also have flavors. Good ones.

I just hope people keep their shit together tonight.

I'm going to a concert, and forgot what today was.

People in this city lose their minds on holidays like this and I'd rather not be in the middle of it.

Butters

Heineken is ok too it just skunks really easily for some reason. I'd blame the green bottle but I've never had a skunked Beck's which is pretty much the same beer.

Raijin Quickfoot

Not everyone wants to get into the craft beer scene out spend the extra money on craft beer... I get that.

But Corona tastes like the urine of satan after he's been eating asparagus.

Costco has a Mexican beer pack with Tecate, Sol and Dos Equis.

So my grocery store is all excited about Cinco De Mayo and has every avodaco in the city on display. The manager proudly told me he made sure they all came in fresh this morning.

Every last one is hard as a rock and unripe.
