Stop making Mexican lagers.

I live in the deep south of the pacific northwest and the number of brewers trying to tap into the Modelo market is shameful. People drink Modelo because 15 years ago they came in with a cheap 18 pack and converted a bunch of cost-minded Coors/Bud/Miller drinkers. That's it. It's a very non offensive crushable beer. But stop trying to emulate it, because it isn't about the beer.

Swing and a miss here. Been married to a 1st gen Latina from Guatemala for 15 years (she became a citizen last year). The lack of ethnic diversity in this area is awful.

I was being sarcastic. But was Idaho correct? Resonates because I have family in Idaho and can attest to the whiteness lol.

Yes, Idaho. The most white washed area in the US.
