Our beer & wine expert François Steichen visited Mexico City to do some sampling.
“Beer is a big favorite in Mexico City, and indeed, in all of Mexico. The beer market in Mexico, as one might expect, is dominated by the massive Corona and Modelo beer conglomerates. The heat and humidity in Mexico City means that residents prefer this lighter beer, lower in alcohol, that can accommodate a 2-3 beer session. The major beers are also inexpensive; the same sized Corona or Modelo beer is 1/3 the price in Mexico as it is in the United States.” – Francoise Steichen https://bit.ly/44MdxSi
