I like this brewery's products, but you can't get much of it around here --

It's a guide - everyone's taste is different, but I haven't had any Modelo lately. Dos Equis is one of my favorites, and its rating is almost as low as Modelo.

Modelo is cheap . . . like a Mexican Natural Light . . . or maybe Black Label. I don't drink regular beer anymore, but when I did I preferred Carta Blanca.

When I was in college the first time, the "good" beer was Budweiser, but I usually drank Schaefer or Genesee because it was 10 cents less at my favorite bar. Last year I drank Budweiser for several months in memory of my father - the reclosable aluminum bottles are a good idea, but it's still just Bud inside.

When I first tried beer at 11 or 12 it was Coors and I hated it. Then later, 14 or so I tried Bud, Michelob and some nasty as Colt , so again, I hated beer. A couple years later when I got my drivers license the first thing I did was go to Baja Malibu to surf (it was really effing good that day, crystal clear water, 4 to 5 feet, peaky and going OFF!). When I got out of the water I went and got tacos and beer down towards Rosario. I don't remember which beer I got (it wasn't Corona that's for sure) but I discovered there was good beer in the world . . . then I discovered Tony's Beers of the World in OB off Voltaire (long since gone, now condos there). Not only would Tony sell to me, he told me about the different beers. I became a semiliterate beer snob of sorts . . . and now the craft beers! It's amazing.

The CO2 in naturally-brewed beer is produced from its ingredients (barley, hops, and yeast) which got their carbon mainly from the CO2 in the atmosphere, and is therefore by definition renewable (just like firewood). Brewers may brew beers that need no additional CO2, or they may produce the carbonation fizz by finishing (adding sugars during bottling, sometimes with added yeast), or they may capture the natural CO2 emissions of the brewing process and inject them back in during bottling, or they may just add bottled CO2 obtained from industrial suppliers.

The amount of "evil" in industrial CO2 depends on its source. It can be made as a sideproduct of atmospheric distillation whose intended products are nitrogen, oxygen, and argon, or captured from the combustion of fossil fuels (increasingly common now because of emissions regulations), or by simple chemical processes (typically involving acids and carbonic rocks like limestone).

During most of the years 73-74 when I was in the Navy, I worked 6PM to Midnight shift (the AIMD shop had 4 6-hour shifts, plus rotating weekend duty days). I was living in North Park at the time, as were several of my shopmates. Many nights we would meet at a house on Meade Ave a couple of blocks from my apartment to play spades and drink beer - usually Olympia from the minimart next door. An interesting house - the upstairs bedrooms were accessible by a backside exterior stairway or via a vertical ladder inside a closet.

Remember Brew 102, the brewery located in the bend of Route 101 in downtown LA? It was the cheapest beer available in SoCal in the 70s. I was never that desperate.

Yes, yes I do. I remember finding a stash of that by our well pump house when I was mid single digits. Not sure who left it there, but we had fun throwing the cans against a rock and shooting them with a BB gun.
