Was it created by Corona or Dos Equis ?
I seem to remember Corona was the first to really promote it.
My father in law spent years living in Tijuana in the late 1950s. He went to San Diego State. Worked at the Corvair factory in San Diego and lived above a Whore House in Tijuana. He said NOBODY in Mexico drank Corona. That Dos Equis Amber was considered the Premium Cervasa in Mexico.
It is still his favorite beer. One of mine too. A lager beer made by German immigrants to Monterey.
My local Safeway had a Cinco de Mayo celebration this Saturday. It was very cute & cool. They had little stands set up among the aisles with older ladies passing out delicious free tacos and nachos, mariachis, and remarkable alcohol-free margarita made from two parts Sweet and Sour mix and one part Club Soda.
“Was it created by Corona or Dos Equis ?”
By the Gabrinas Group in San Antonio. I know they had Corona at the time, but probably had other Mexican beer brands, too.
Gabrinas saved Shiner Bock, too.
Carlos Alvarez was a good guy. UTSA (I think) school of Business is named after him.
