The only positive thing about Corona is, at least it's not as crappy
as Tecate. Now Modelo, that's yummy Mexican beer, both the Negra (a
light bodied dark, and what Michelob Amber bock only aspires to be),
and the Especial (a light beer). Modelo and Corona are made by the
same company, but the difference is, quality sells Modelo, whereas
it's advertising that sells the Corona brand. The Especial is
available in cans, and is, IMO, the best canoe trip beer.
