Mayweather vs Pacquiao: Tecate bans Corona

Mayweather vs. Pacquaio TECATE KO'S CORONA Buys Beer Rights for $5.6 Mil http://ll-media.tmz.com/2015/03/24/0323-manny-mayweather-composite-5.jpg There was a civil war in Mexico surrounding the Mayweather vs. Pacquaio fight -- TECATE VERSUS CORONA -- but now ... one beer has finally obtained the rights to be the official cerveza of the fight! Here's the tale of the tape ... Tecate has been a long-time sponsor of Pacquaio -- while Corona has often backed Mayweather. According to promoter Bob Arum, both companies were dead set on buying the rights ... which led to a good old fashioned BIDDING WAR!! But when it comes to beer sponsors, there can only be uno ... and according to Arum, the winner was TECATE ... which bid $5.6 MILLION!!!! "We've never seen anything like that on a beer sponsor," Arum told ESPN ... "Both companies were after it. It's a huge number." Arum says Tecate's bid was $400k higher than Corona. Hey, life can't always be a beach. Read more: http://www.tmz.com/2015/03/24/mayweather-vs-pacquaio-tecate-k-o-s-corona-buy-beer-rights-for-5-6-million/#ixzz3VLEy0GDR

Noche Buena Its name (literally "Good Night") means "Christmas Eve" in Spanish. It is a seasonal beer that is only sold toward the end of the year. http://poptwistorpull.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/noche_buena_2010.jpg http://www.imagenespara.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Noche-Buena2011.jpg

Actually "Dos Equis" is made from grupo Cuauhtemoc Moctezuma. Grupo Cuauhtemoc Moctezuma: - Tecate - Dos Equis - Bohemia - Indio - Sol Grupo Modelo: - Corona - Modelo & Negra Modelo (NOM NOM NOM) - Victoria - Pacifico - Leon I prefer Indio, Bohemia and Negra Modelo

Don't know about Tecate, but Corona gives guaranteed hangover. I'm not a fan. Bad thread title, though. How can you even ban a beer company?

All the bitching in this thread about the taste of beer. Beer is beer. Bud Light? Steel Reserve? Beer:30? Don't be a ***** craft/IPA-loving hipster faggot. Drink the beer. LLS if you drink or hang around people who drink the bold you have a problem. I don't really drink beer at all. I can count on 1 hand how many beers I have had in probably the past 3-4 years.

You beer noobs are mistaking, there is no one size fits all when it comes to beer. Beer is just as versatile as wine, and has many flavors and uses. Let me give you a basic break down of how beer works for me. For eating seafood: Modelo. For eating steak: stella For partying: A Heineken and a shot of your choice of alcohol For relaxing: Modelo Negro

Bohemia is the best Mexican beer in my opinion. http://cdn3-www.craveonline.com/assets/uploads/2014/07/bohemia.jpg This^ it blew me away the first time I tried in Mexico city while cruising around in a gondola. It has a floral taste and aroma (sampaguitta anyone?). Any beer enthusiasts should try it.

Corona and Tecate are both run of the mill commercial beers made to appeal to the masses through advertising. Corona is about the equivalent of Old Milwaukee, Pabst or Coors, low commercial grade barely ok. Tecate is just as bad. There are a few decent Mexican beers I guess. I liked (the only reason I say liked is it's been years since I drank them here in the Northeast) Dos XX ok and Sol, Negro Modelo too, they are a little better than Corona and Tecate, the Miller and Budweiser or is it Budweiser and Miller of Mexican beers. Or maybe they're the pabst and Stroh's of Mexico. Most craft beers are too hopped up and too malty/sweet. Gotta have a lot of hops to justify the expense I guess. For a regular beer it's Lord Chesterfield Ale, hoppy tang but not overdone, made by "America's oldest brewery", Yuengling.
