33. I'm drinking a Heineken

as I write this. My only criticism is that it's overpriced for what it is. I like Becks much more. Heineken ranks with the best mass produced American beers, although I think Yuengling is better than most of the imports, including Heineken. Truth be told the best beers you can buy in America are from the new regional micro breweries, especially those brewing lagers. The advances in American brewing over the past generation are awesome. From what I hear, Carta Blanca is pretty good, but I can't find it where I live.

Carta Blanca is quite good for the price. Much better than the grossly overrated Corona. nomorenomore08 Mar 2013 #39

Modelo is my favorite in that bracket, but I'll take a CB over Corona any day. bluesbassman Mar 2013 #40

Modelo and Negra Modelo are both tasty, especially the latter. nomorenomore08 Mar 2013 #43
