Have you actually drank Dos Equis (XX) beer?
 

I have. While in Mexico several years ago I tried it on several occasions. It became known as the beer you need to sip first to check to see if it's skunky. Seemed like about every third bottle had turned to skunk piss and had to be sent back.

As for the beer itself, unless they improved upon it I recall it being just okay (the ones that weren't skunky). Definitely not as interesting as the guy in their new commercials.

Think it's worth giving it another shot? I want to be able to say I drink the same brew as the most interesting man in the world, but not if I have to play skunk piss roulette.

It's not bad. I still prefer Corona.

I've had it on a few occasions, it's not bad beer, never ran across "skunky" ones though...

I like their Amber but will take their Lager if that is all that is available. Anything but Corona.

Is that the one in the short stubby bottle?

We were ordering them as "I'll have a fat Corona".... the Mexican bartenders all started calling it that too eventually. Fat Corona is good, better than XX.

Yes, it's not bad.

Stay Thirsty My Friends...
 

Sez the Most Interesting Man in the WORLD!!!



:drinkup

What do I know?!? I'm drinking Bacardi and Diet Coke. :)

I prefer Tres Equis (XXX)...

Hmm, have never seen that fat Corona, is it in Mexico only?

Had it a few times with Mexican food not bad for a change so long as its fresh and real cold.

When did Fidel Castro become the most interestin' guy in the world?

the green dos Equis is my favorite mexican beer

Yes when I was in Mexico I was drinking it. Nothing to write home about.

I've never had it. but corona is nice :)

one of my favorite drinks not that bad

had it several times, nice atlernative to corona:drinkup

I don't really like beer but Dos Equis is not bad. Pacifico is good as well.

Corona is just nasty.

Their marketing is working, you've got people talking about their brand :)

When he started drinking beer... :thumbsup

Yes. It's Corona Barril (Corona Draft). It's cheaper than Corona Extra and doesn't require a deposit on the bottles.

Dos Equis is good, both amber and lager. Corona should always be your last choice in Mexican beer.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh ...

That's the one I drank plenty of times. No problem.

Maybe the OP was buying from some crappy place.

That beer is made in a big vat. If one is bad then they all are.

Maybe some of the beer was stored out in the sun and those bottles sucked.

I don't mind it every now and then,I still prefer Peroni

I always have a sixpack in my fridge.

I've had a few times when eating Mexican food. Not too bad

yup like Corona, I can drink it as long as it is ice cold but if it's just a lil warm it tastes like shit..

My cousin got married a few years back and at the rehearsal dinner he had only that for beer so I tried it and it wasn't bad. Not my type but still not bad.

I like Dark XX (amber)

very good with a lime accompanied by some chips n salsa...

Only all the top nightclubs in Acapulco.

Most commercial beers are made in big vats.

That's what I've long suspected to be the case.

My favorite Mexican beer is Pacifico.

I haven't tried it yet either

A friend of mine swears by it for his daily drinker bbq beer... He generally has good taste so it can't be all that bad.

i dig it when in mexico. not a bad beer overall imo

Not sure why, but the last 2 times I picked up Dos Equis it was flat.

try the amber in a frosty glass with a lime...

drink some tecate

where i live 80% of the places ony sell 1 beer :( talk about a monopoly

Seems some people like it, but no one is saying it's their favorite.

Interesting.

Dos Equies has been available in the American market for years. At least since 1985. I recall drinking it at Chilis when I went with friends in Highschool. ( Never got carded :) )

and if you are getting that and the beer is bad, then you should not be sitting in that bar.

the dos equis amber is pretty nice

I could really go for a beer right now

nope but the cool guy on tv seems to prefer it.

drink tecate

I drink it whenever I am in Mexico. I also like Superior.
