FOOD AND DRINK

Mountain Views-News Saturday, October 10, 2015 

Seems summer doesn’t want to leave us quite yet. I 
turned my attention just this week away from wine 
and to concentrate on beer. Though there are some 
fine wines to sip on a hot day. This will go well with 
your tailgating plans. I left out our regular domestic beers and the new ‘craze” of craft beers, to 
introduce or reintroduce you to three beers that have been around for a while. That are my favorites 
on a blistering day that I call “beer drinking weather beer”.

First we visit the Czech Republic, for Pilsner Urquell-Czech for “original pilsner” was first brewed 
in the 1840’s this is a clean, light beer with a relatively low alcohol rate of 4.4%, this the perfect beer 
for a tailgate party on a hot summer day, when I see Pilsner Urquell on a menu it is my first choice, 
probably my favorite beer in the Pilsner class, a little bit of that skunky smell, though not as noticeable 
as Heineken.

4 . stars !!! Available by the six pack at most grocery stores and is on tap at the Yard House.

Off we got to Thailand for Singha Beer also a Pilsner with a German Style, this beer has serious 
drinkability, and can stand alone without a food pairing, though Mexican and spicy Thai food would 
indeed complete this refreshing beer. Alcohol content is 5%. 

4 out of five stars

For my last beer I travel south of 
the border for Negra Modelo, 
sure Corona gets the notoriety 
but Modelo for me is the best 
of the best as far as Mexican 
Beer, go to any restaurant were 
patriots are drinking beer 
and nine times out of ten it’s 
Modelo they are drinking. The 
Negra Modela reminds me of a 
German Dunkel style, makes 
sense since many German beer 
makers made their homes in 
parts of Mexico. This a dark 
beer, goes well with tailgating 
foods such as bratwurst, potato 
salad and of course fried 
chicken.

With hundreds of beers I might 
have missed your favorite.
