[QUOTE=Gatopescado] Wow. Where was I for the “Sweet 16”? [/QUOTE] Ditto - from what short list did _these_ four end up on top? I’ll vote for Guiness over Average Overrated Steam Ale, and withhold vote in the other contest. ---

I wouldn’t have expected to see Modelo on any best-selling list, and I’ve never even heard of Alaskan Pale Ale. . . . (Google image search), I’ve seen it in the store. Never tried it. ---

The popular Mexican beers around here are Tecate, Dos XX, and Corona. ---
