Episode 8:  Comparing Coronas in Huatulco, Mexico · Brew Tox with Scott & Scott

• 0:04
  Boom. Welcome to Brutons with Scott
• 0:12
  Scott. Britax, like detox, only taste
• 0:16
  you. I'm Bill Scott.
• 0:18
  And I'm Scott Smithson. And this is a podcast that
• 0:22
  celebrates alcohol free beer. Well, Scott, here we are freshly
• 0:29
  returned from our stay and beautiful with Tokyo, Mexico.
• 0:33
  What a gorgeous place to spend days of doing sun drenched
• 0:37
  nothing. Yeah, Bella was outstanding,
• 0:40
  wasn't it? The weather, the company, the
• 0:42
  celebrations of 2 birthdays. But we didn't exactly do
• 0:46
  nothing. No.
• 0:48
  What do you mean? Well we did manage to do some
• 0:50
  research on Mexican alcohol free beers and tape a couple of
• 0:55
  Brutus episodes. Oh yeah, that's right.
• 0:58
  Yeah, so next week we'll have a microbrew episode featuring
• 1:02
  Modelos 0.0. But for today's episode, we have
• 1:06
  a number of special guests who just so happened to be some of
• 1:10
  our most loyal followers, and coincidentally are all close
• 1:15
  family and friends that we just so happen to be vacationing
• 1:19
  with. Yeah so today's episode of
• 1:22
  Brutal Box is very special. Not many facts and figures know
• 1:26
  0 proof full truth and not even a dad joke insight.
• 1:31
  Too bad. Just a canvas candid
• 1:34
  conversation comparing 3 versions of a popular Mexican
• 1:37
  beer, a regular, a light and an alcohol free.
• 1:42
  We think you'll be surprised by the results.
• 1:44
  Well, let's have a listen. Well Bill, we finally found a
• 1:52
  few non alcoholic or alcohol free beers here in Huatulco,
• 1:56
  Mexico. We have not been very successful
• 1:59
  in finding many. Yeah, the ones we did find, it
• 2:03
  took forever. I couldn't believe that we
• 2:05
  couldn't find any alcohol free beers down here.
• 2:08
  There are so many amazing Mexican beer brands but it just
• 2:13
  seems like they don't make a lot of alcohol free beer yet.
• 2:16
  I guess not. But we did finally run into some
• 2:20
  in one of our last trek into the stores in town.
• 2:22
  Yeah, it took awhile, but it was.
• 2:24
  Yeah, luckily we did because then the resort we're at, they
• 2:27
  don't have any alcohol free beer whatsoever.
• 2:29
  Like we thought they might have the Corona Cero at least because
• 2:33
  we've had that at home like we've mentioned a few times, but
• 2:37
  Nope. Yeah.
• 2:38
  So our original plan was to find and taste a variety of Mexican
• 2:42
  alcohol free beers. But because we didn't find many,
• 2:46
  we decided to pivot and do a taste test of Corona Regular,
• 2:51
  Corona Light and Corona 0, all of which are of course available
• 2:55
  in Canada and you're in Mexico. Perfect.
• 2:59
  And we're not going to do it alone with a lot of our family,
• 3:03
  just what everybody, our family and friends have agreed to help
• 3:07
  us out today. I was surprised.
• 3:09
  I know. So we'll have the opportunity to
• 3:11
  get the opinions of nine different people, not just the
• 3:15
  two of us, which is kind of nice.
• 3:17
  We're gonna see what they what the beers look like, what they
• 3:21
  taste like, whether or not people actually like them.
• 3:25
  We've got a few people in our group that have not really even
• 3:28
  tried an alcohol free beer before.
• 3:30
  And what I like about it is they're all pretty opinionated
• 3:33
  people. They're going to give us their
• 3:35
  true and feelings about things and we have no idea what they're
• 3:39
  going to. Say no.
• 3:40
  No, this is not scripted in the least.
• 3:44
  So it should be fun. Yeah, yeah, it should.
• 3:46
  It should be a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to it.
• 3:49
  So we're just kind of waiting around for everyone to arrive
• 3:52
  and we'll come back on when everybody gets here and we can
• 3:57
  get started on the rest of this. Sounds good, OK.
• 4:02
  OK, Well, here we have everybody in the in the room.
• 4:04
  We're in this small little room. So it's a bit echoey here.
• 4:07
  So we're going to make the best of it, but there's how many of
• 4:09
  us are in here. 12/12/13 actually. 13, that's fantastic.
• 4:14
  Oh, and not quite 13. No, we have. 12120 that's right,
• 4:16
  that's. Right.
• 4:17
  OK. So thank you all for coming and
• 4:19
  doing this this Brew Talks remote podcast where we're
• 4:24
  trying the trying the three Coronas.
• 4:26
  So as you can see, we've got them all lined up here.
• 4:30
  Just to give a visual to our listeners, we've got a line of
• 4:33
  Corona Extra, a line of Corona Light and then a line of Corona
• 4:36
  Cero. And then we'll, we'll, just,
• 4:39
  we'll try them and we'll pass the mic around and people can,
• 4:41
  we can talk to people and see what people think of each.
• 4:46
  That sounds like a plan, and I think what we're going to do is
• 4:48
  start with the Corona regular, right?
• 4:53
  Publix for extra cheers. So.
• 5:03
  OK, so everyone's, just about everybody has tried a Corona
• 5:09
  regular before, right Adam? Yes, correct.
• 5:13
  Yep. And everyone who has not tried
• 5:16
  1. Susan, you looked.
• 5:19
  I had one yesterday. Oh, yeah.
• 5:22
  Oh, thanks, Cindy. Yes.
• 5:23
  Grab a line if you want a lime because right.
• 5:26
  And just what do you. So any comments?
• 5:29
  Any comments on what you don't drink at all?
• 5:31
  Perhaps because we're going to go back and forth.
• 5:34
  That's OK, Brian. And we'll, we'll, we'll pay you
• 5:36
  another one. I just want to add the Corona is
• 5:39
  the only beer that I can stuck. Like.
• 5:43
  A couple of year maybe. So.
• 5:45
  To me it's good. You can say your name if you
• 5:48
  want to. That was Dorothy talking.
• 5:49
  She's been mentioned a few times on our podcast.
• 5:52
  OK OK. And Shelby, what about you?
• 5:54
  What do you think? This is our our team graphic
• 5:57
  designer here, so go ahead, you can grab that.
• 6:00
  One. So far so good.
• 6:02
  So far, so good. Go ahead.
• 6:04
  If anybody has a comment, we'll just pass the mic over to you.
• 6:06
  Corona, I don't know. You know, Corona's an OK beer.
• 6:10
  Like, I don't personally, I don't drink a whole bunch of
• 6:13
  Corona. Anybody at Corona drinker?
• 6:15
  Really. No beer in Mexico for like hot
• 6:20
  weather and that it's light, you know, and it's often the comment
• 6:24
  when we people say about about alcohol free beers.
• 6:27
  Hey, it's a good beer in the summer, refreshing in the
• 6:29
  summer, right? So OK, so that was the Corona.
• 6:32
  I don't know if anybody has any comments.
• 6:34
  It looks like a Corona. It's gold looking at all.
• 6:37
  Any comments on on the three, the comparison before we even go
• 6:41
  to drink the light? Yeah, they all have the same
• 6:46
  colour, yeah. It's an even better one next.
• 6:49
  Yeah, the middle one is the late 1 Susan.
• 6:51
  Yeah, OK. We can let let's let's try grab
• 6:54
  the grab the middle 1. So now you have the so you have
• 6:57
  the light one and the regular 1 so you can kind of compare the
• 7:01
  2. Is there any difference?
• 7:03
  Is it a light? Is it lighter?
• 7:07
  Oh, Tim, good question. OK, here.
• 7:11
  Go ahead, read that. Here, I'll hand you the can do I
• 7:14
  read it? Read it off.
• 7:14
  For alcohol 3.4%, is that the only difference that is lower
• 7:19
  alcohol? Pretty much, yeah.
• 7:22
  The lighter beers have less alcohol content to them and so
• 7:25
  the I think it's 4.5 or 4.4 something on the regular.
• 7:31
  So it's, you know, a little bit less, but not a whole lot
• 7:34
  really. I just tried it.
• 7:36
  It tastes. I think it tastes exactly the
• 7:38
  same, a little more bitter, say that the Corona likes maybe a
• 7:43
  little bitter, but maybe it's just because I'm alternating
• 7:46
  between the two here. I don't know, maybe Cindy.
• 7:49
  My experience is the opposite. I like corona light better.
• 7:54
  It's not as bitter to me. It's more.
• 7:56
  It's more. Smooth to me.
• 7:58
  I'm like. OK, we'll get Brian because
• 8:00
  Brian's birthday tomorrow. Yeah, we're supposed to talk
• 8:03
  about that. I think there's a a distinctive
• 8:07
  different taste. I would kind of like the Corona
• 8:10
  extra myself. You'd prefer to drink Corona
• 8:13
  extra if somebody put 2 down in front of you that that's the one
• 8:15
  you would take. Yeah, so far, I would think so,
• 8:17
  yes. I would agree with Cindy on on
• 8:21
  that. I think it's it's just a little
• 8:22
  like smoother. Yeah, that's a good way to put
• 8:25
  it. I think it's a little smoother
• 8:28
  one for me has always been a little on the bitter side.
• 8:32
  But that also might change if you put a lime in it, right?
• 8:35
  That might kind of change the taste.
• 8:38
  So I'd be curious to see how the lime would change the the taste.
• 8:44
  Dorothy again, because I'm not a fan of beer, I I find the the
• 8:49
  light 1 is a bit bitter. So for a difference of just a
• 8:53
  few percentages in the alcohol, I'd stick with the regular.
• 8:57
  That would be me. Yeah, I would, I'm going to say
• 8:59
  that there's probably not a huge going to be a huge difference.
• 9:02
  It's we're only talking a percent or you know, 1%
• 9:06
  difference. And then when we go down to the
• 9:08
  zero, that's dropping down another 3 1/2%.
• 9:11
  So there should be more of a difference between the light and
• 9:15
  then the zero I think. So we haven't heard from you in
• 9:19
  the corner. You have any comments so far?
• 9:21
  I think, I think the Corona Light just tastes kind of
• 9:24
  watered down Corona Extra. That's what I say.
• 9:27
  I think that has a pretty similar taste.
• 9:28
  It just tastes a little lighter lighter.
• 9:30
  Yeah, and it's almost like kind of what?
• 9:33
  Almost. What's the point?
• 9:34
  Yeah, I. Really like the Corona light a
• 9:38
  lot better. I think it's smoother, not as
• 9:41
  sharp almost. And I know Corona is a really
• 9:45
  light beer, but I agree with you Shelby, it's.
• 9:47
  I would. Drink the Corona light over
• 9:49
  Corona. Split, I'm just curious then,
• 9:54
  which is your preference if you're a fan of the Corona
• 9:56
  regular, put your hand up for me for a minute.
• 9:59
  We got 123456 and seven and three that prefer the Corona
• 10:05
  Lake. Excellent.
• 10:07
  I prefer the Corona light, actually I think I like that one
• 10:10
  better, but I think I will prefer the Corona 0.
• 10:13
  Even more. OK.
• 10:14
  OK. So should we move on to that
• 10:15
  one? OK, so 1st for some of you this
• 10:24
  anybody have having an alcohol free beer first time that you've
• 10:28
  really had one? Oh wow.
• 10:30
  So we've got we've got 4-5 people really that are having an
• 10:34
  alcohol free beer for the first time.
• 10:38
  All free beer virgins. Yeah, well, there you go.
• 10:41
  Nice. Been a long time since you've
• 10:43
  been called that. I was I, I was looking at Adam
• 10:47
  when I said that. So there was some surprise that
• 10:53
  I have not had an alcohol. Free beer.
• 10:55
  Even though my husband is doing the.
• 10:57
  Podcast but. When I don't like beer, why
• 11:01
  would I drink an alcohol free? Beer.
• 11:04
  Yeah, good point. Susan, I actually quite like the
• 11:09
  alcohol free. We like when we when we travel,
• 11:12
  we play tennis and the one thing we do afterwards is have a beer
• 11:17
  and it's always a Corona. If there's Corona and I actually
• 11:20
  like the alcohol free, it's not bitter at all.
• 11:23
  It's interesting that you say that because one of the benefits
• 11:27
  of alcohol free beer, according to the research that we've done
• 11:30
  so far, is that it's seen as more of an athletic drink than
• 11:33
  even something like Gatorade. Which is kind of fascinating
• 11:36
  when you think about it too, because when was the last time
• 11:39
  you heard somebody say that beer was good for you, right?
• 11:43
  So this is the legacy, if you will, of an alcohol free beer
• 11:47
  and athletics, which is kind of cool.
• 11:49
  This is Charlie I'm loving. The Corona 0.
• 11:53
  I would drink that over any of them.
• 11:57
  You know, yeah, I, I would agree.
• 11:59
  Like I I like the Kronos Aero much more than than the other
• 12:04
  two Coronas so. It's very smooth taste.
• 12:09
  The taste of it, it's very good and it's well, it's tasty, it's
• 12:13
  refreshing. But being a beer drinker and
• 12:15
  like to drink the beer for the alcohol content.
• 12:17
  I mean, I go to the other ones, but for taste and refreshing,
• 12:22
  yes, this beer actually is probably the best out of three.
• 12:25
  What's interesting is that on the regular Corona drink, you're
• 12:30
  getting about 148 to 150 calories per can, whereas with
• 12:37
  the Corona Zero, it's only 72 calories.
• 12:42
  So if you're looking at like, you know, your health or your,
• 12:45
  your, your keeping track of your calories, that's another benefit
• 12:50
  to drinking it hot almost, Yeah, almost half, pretty much half
• 12:54
  the calories. And I'd be curious on the light
• 12:57
  one, it doesn't, it might, it might not say on the can, but so
• 13:01
  Corona Light, yeah. So Corona Light contains 99
• 13:05
  calories in the standard 12 fluid oz bottle or can so.
• 13:10
  And we went to frequent listeners of our podcast, we
• 13:13
  talked about that a lot, about how it's a lot lower calories in
• 13:18
  alcohol free beers across the board pretty much so.
• 13:21
  Yeah, that's that's actually one of the things that has drawn us
• 13:25
  to them, you know, because you want to not only cut down on
• 13:29
  alcohol content, but, you know, calories.
• 13:31
  Some of the beers that we've tried have been as low as 25
• 13:34
  calories and many of them are around 50.
• 13:39
  And, and as a, as a, as a break from a, just an alcohol and
• 13:43
  alcohol beer, right? Like, like, I'm sorry, Brian,
• 13:46
  you're a Bud drinker. Have you had the Bud?
• 13:49
  Have you tried the Bud 0? OK, OK.
• 13:55
  Yeah, yeah. Just to compare them, they they
• 13:59
  taste, they taste quite different actually the buds do.
• 14:03
  For sure. Is there a preference that would
• 14:06
  you have a preference about when you would have an alcohol free
• 14:09
  beer versus an alcohol beer so you're not?
• 14:13
  An afternoon beer, I would choose the Corona light just
• 14:18
  because an afternoon beer by itself after Athletic doing
• 14:22
  anything, I wouldn't get tired, I wouldn't get sleepy and you
• 14:25
  can still keep going on your. Day.
• 14:27
  So you were talking about the Corona Zero at that point, Yeah.
• 14:32
  Hi, this is Shelby. What I really like is that
• 14:35
  they're so similar in taste. So let's say you're planning on
• 14:40
  having a six pack of Corona, it kind of helps to split it up if
• 14:44
  you have like 2 alcohol drinks and then you have a 0%.
• 14:50
  So you wouldn't even taste wise, you wouldn't even really be able
• 14:53
  to tell. So I think it would help to make
• 14:56
  the night go a little longer, pace yourself, which I should
• 14:59
  have done last night. It's interesting that you say
• 15:05
  that, Shelby, because what you've just described is
• 15:08
  something that Scott and I have talked about in a previous
• 15:10
  podcast called Zebra Striping where you have an alcohol free
• 15:14
  beer followed by an alcohol beer, followed by another
• 15:17
  alcohol free beer. And if you find a beer where
• 15:21
  it's kind of in the same taste level, that's kind of cool that
• 15:24
  way. So, Tim.
• 15:26
  Yeah, I'll start. I think that the Corona cero,
• 15:29
  it's quite good. It tastes almost a dental to
• 15:32
  corona. It's definitely better than the
• 15:35
  light. Think it's super nice,
• 15:37
  refreshing, but I've liked having like a non alcoholic
• 15:39
  beer. If you're going to be driving
• 15:41
  and like you're out with friends that are drinking and it's like
• 15:44
  you have one or two alcoholic beers.
• 15:46
  And then if people are still staying out and you want to feel
• 15:48
  social and have a drink, then then you move on and have the
• 15:51
  the non alcoholic, non alcoholic beer version.
• 15:54
  So that's what I've appreciated of it since Scott's been telling
• 15:57
  me about this little podcast journey.
• 16:02
  Yeah. And it is that that's a huge
• 16:04
  thing about having having alcohol free beers as an option
• 16:09
  right to go to. And I don't think it's looked at
• 16:13
  as you're not drinking like it's just another drink that people
• 16:16
  are having. Adam Yeah, I just have one
• 16:20
  comment. And it made me think here when
• 16:23
  Tim said about like athletic kind of almost drink is, you
• 16:28
  know, in the summer time, we quite often will drink rattlers,
• 16:32
  right where you were basically, it's great fruit juice mixed
• 16:35
  with the beer and that and it and its name came from basically
• 16:39
  the road bikers in, in, in Europe, right?
• 16:42
  Having a beer after cycling, but not wanting all the alcohol and
• 16:46
  with grapefruit mix. And I'm just thinking putting
• 16:49
  some grapefruit in that Corona zero, that would be that would
• 16:54
  be great. You have and there's no alcohol
• 16:56
  whatsoever in it, right? That's a pretty interesting
• 17:00
  concept actually, because there are a number of those kinds of
• 17:04
  fruit infused beers, right? I mean, a lot of the craft beer
• 17:07
  have mango or Peach and fuse with them or whatever else.
• 17:10
  And why not do it yourself? In fact, I remember going to a
• 17:15
  place in the Okanogan and they said you might be able to help
• 17:20
  me with this. I can't remember exactly what
• 17:22
  the what the two, what the beer was that we got.
• 17:26
  It was their lager and they added freshly squeezed
• 17:31
  grapefruit juice. It was tasty.
• 17:34
  So Corona 0 with great freshly squeezed.
• 17:38
  Grapefruit juice. Would be a winner.
• 17:42
  And is that it's funny because you think of putting a, you
• 17:45
  know, something, adding something to a regular beer,
• 17:48
  like is it, is it more acceptable to add something to
• 17:52
  some to 0 coal thing than it is to adding it to a regular beer?
• 17:56
  I don't know. It's not an A new concept
• 18:01
  really, because I remember when I first started drinking beer
• 18:05
  many, many, many years ago, the first beer I had in an
• 18:09
  establishment that was bought for me was a shandy.
• 18:13
  And a shandy is beer, half beer, half 7 upper Sprite.
• 18:18
  And so it's just gone from there.
• 18:21
  I mean, the changes are kind of interesting.
• 18:24
  One of the things I'm curious about is do Scott and I talked a
• 18:27
  little bit about stigma and drinking alcohol free beer.
• 18:30
  Do you think there's any stigma? Have you experienced that?
• 18:34
  If if you were to have an alcohol free beer, what do you
• 18:36
  think others that you're out with might think about that?
• 18:40
  No, I don't think there's ever been a well, maybe there is, but
• 18:43
  not, not in the people that I've been around or associate with.
• 18:47
  It's, it's to each his own. And if it's a good beer and you
• 18:51
  want to drink it, so be it. What do you think?
• 18:54
  Shelby, Emma and. I would say there probably was a
• 18:58
  bit of a signal like earlier like when we were maybe
• 19:01
  university and stuff, but now it's definitely becoming way
• 19:05
  less and we'll see when we go out places.
• 19:07
  There's always multiple of non alcoholic drinks and people are
• 19:10
  always getting them. Even Tim an hour out with some
• 19:14
  friends a couple weeks ago and Tim ordered a non alcoholic
• 19:17
  Guinness so that he could drive home while all the rest of us
• 19:20
  were having guinnesses. So definitely way less of a
• 19:23
  stigma nowadays. And I know that like
• 19:27
  generationally, if you look at Gen.
• 19:30
  Z, you can see that they're drinking less than like, you
• 19:36
  know, for whatever. There's many variables there,
• 19:38
  I'm sure. But yeah, to Emma's point, I'm
• 19:42
  32 and probably 10 years ago or so is like, you know, you'd go
• 19:48
  and save on or or something to that effect and you'd see just a
• 19:52
  couple options for non alcoholic beer.
• 19:55
  There's just so many more options now.
• 19:57
  And I do feel that the breweries and different companies are kind
• 20:00
  of thinking about that next generation and giving them some
• 20:06
  options, more options. There's less of a stigma now, I
• 20:08
  would say. That's, that's great to hear
• 20:10
  because I think the rest of us, we would say that, you know,
• 20:13
  when we were your guys's age, I mean, first of all, there wasn't
• 20:18
  alcohol free options. I mean, there was duels, but but
• 20:24
  other than other than that, really there wasn't.
• 20:26
  And you know, if you weren't drinking, if you weren't having
• 20:29
  alcohol while everybody else was, that would have been kind
• 20:32
  of friend looked at like, like what's your problem sort of
• 20:35
  thing. Like, I'm sure, right.
• 20:37
  I I would say Scott, you know, and I'm almost 60 now, right.
• 20:41
  So, but that's so this we're talking like 45 years ago,
• 20:45
  growing up in small town British Columbia that we would look for
• 20:50
  the best bang for our buck, right?
• 20:52
  Like we would look and go, oh, this beer now has 6% versus the
• 20:58
  other one that had 5%. But that was, you know, being
• 21:01
  young and foolish in those days, right, Trying to squeeze that
• 21:04
  extra percent or two for your buck for beer, right?
• 21:07
  And there was always a connotation of especially as a
• 21:11
  young man, you know, oh, you're not, you know, man enough for
• 21:14
  whatever you better drink a real strong beer.
• 21:17
  Resist you know that quote UN quote American Water right,
• 21:23
  exactly like yeah, you would never drink a waste your time on
• 21:27
  a non alcoholic one right. So anyway, well, thanks
• 21:31
  everybody. That was.
• 21:34
  Oh, yeah. Why don't we tell them our scale
• 21:37
  and we're just going to talk about the Corona Zero and our
• 21:42
  scale is number 1 is like this beer is so bad I throw it in the
• 21:49
  planter, except I'm afraid I'd kill the plants. 2 is kind of.
• 21:57
  Kind of like oh duels. Kind of like oh duels, you know,
• 22:00
  not really interested. 3 is not too bad.
• 22:05
  I wouldn't necessarily run out and buy it, but it's an OK beer.
• 22:09
  If someone put it in front of you, you'd have you'd drink it.
• 22:12
  You drink it and you wouldn't pour it down the sink, right?
• 22:15
  And 4 is now we're on to something.
• 22:18
  Why bother putting alcohol in this?
• 22:21
  And like, it's good by itself. Good by itself.
• 22:23
  It's a good drink. Don't have any problems with it.
• 22:25
  And then five is kind of, this is a Hall of Fame beer.
• 22:29
  It's my go to. I would go out and buy this and
• 22:32
  drink it. Regularly.
• 22:34
  So thinking about the Corona 0, how many of you would rate it
• 22:38
  A1? No one. 0 Alright, rated A2 no
• 22:45
  the three. OK.
• 22:48
  One person. Or three?
• 22:50
  OK. And who would rate?
• 22:52
  It a four like it's a good drink when it's.
• 22:54
  Well, everybody else in the room.
• 22:56
  Yeah. So it's pretty.
• 22:57
  Yeah, pretty popular choice. So it's a force just good on its
• 23:01
  own. And that's what we found a lot
• 23:03
  that it's it doesn't have to necessarily taste like it's
• 23:07
  alcohol counterpart, like it's OK to have its own taste.
• 23:11
  It's its own drink and right doesn't have to taste the same
• 23:14
  and it's. Good, because I'm, I would
• 23:18
  consider myself a regular beer drinker and I'm interested in
• 23:22
  those of you who consider yourselves to be regular beer
• 23:24
  drinkers, whether you know the, the Corona, the Corona beer
• 23:31
  itself, or is one that you would normally drink like is that one
• 23:36
  that would normally be in your repertoire?
• 23:38
  And I see some shaking of heads around the room.
• 23:42
  What about the zero? Would it?
• 23:43
  Would that be something that you would be a go to?
• 23:46
  For what? Yeah, typically I drink the
• 23:53
  Super light beers. And ever since I was, you know,
• 23:57
  old enough to kind of share that commonality with my dad of being
• 24:03
  into beer, right, he would kind of poke me and says, oh, you
• 24:07
  drink only the light stuff. It's not even real beer, right?
• 24:11
  Yes. But I'm personally not much of A
• 24:16
  Corona drinker and it's actually kind of because of that little
• 24:19
  bitterness. So that's why I like to add the
• 24:22
  lime and it kind of counters that.
• 24:24
  So I would actually probably I would choose the zero or the
• 24:27
  light over a regular Corona now that I've tasted them.
• 24:30
  I wonder if it's ironic that we're drinking Corona doing this
• 24:34
  Corona taste as well. We're in Mexico cause isn't it?
• 24:36
  Don't people say that people in Mexico, they never drink
• 24:40
  Coronas? That's only for export.
• 24:42
  But I don't know, you know? It is interesting though to to
• 24:46
  see the differences that people experience.
• 24:49
  Relative beer is such a kind of an individual taste sort of
• 24:52
  thing. And I think that's proven out
• 24:54
  with our with our test today is that many people have different
• 24:58
  reasons for why they're drinking the kinds of beer that they're
• 25:01
  drinking. And, and I think that that's
• 25:04
  probably why there's so many beer on the market to cater to
• 25:07
  all those different choices. And we have and we have found a
• 25:11
  couple other Mexican alcohol free ones.
• 25:14
  We got a Modelo that will in future maybe before we leave
• 25:18
  here, before we leave Mexico, not immediately right now, but
• 25:22
  we'll maybe we'll try out the new Modelo, the Modelo 0 in a
• 25:26
  future 1 billion. And one of the things that we
• 25:30
  said earlier you is we let into this podcast is that we haven't
• 25:33
  found a lot of alcohol free beers in Mexico, which is
• 25:37
  different than other countries that we've tasted beers from.
• 25:41
  So be interesting to see how Mexico comes along in terms of
• 25:44
  some of their their beers. They don't have an alcohol free
• 25:47
  beer here that we can find here at the resort.
• 25:50
  I've asked, they don't have it. Interesting.
• 25:53
