The gold foiled cap on top of the Negro Modelo is so appropriate – almost like a little gold medal for this fabulous lager. It’s so delicious with Mexican food – not to heavy, but still flavorful (unlike a certain “Mexican” beer that starts with a C and ends with “rona”). It’s a nice, slightly darker lager that stands up to bolder foods and is also good on its own on a hot summer’s day! Our local grocery store had the twelve packs on sale for $11 recently and I felt like we’d won the lottery! And, did I mention it’s so much better than that “C” beer? 😉
Once I decided to use this as tonight’s cap, I suddenly started craving salsa (so was born my tomato and garlic picture)! I think it’s Pavlovian, as I normally order Negro on tap at our local Mexican place. Yum… Negro and salsa!
