A coworker from Puerto Rico today was telling me there are three types of beer: brown, green and yellow.
He said Heineken is a green beer (I clarified if he was talking about the color of the bottle. He was not), he said green beers are refreshing like what you would drink on the beach.
He said corona is a yellow beer, so is El Presidente (a Dominican beer).
He said IPAs are considered brown beers, even though their color is light.
I did a brief google search and didn't find anything, so I'm turning to reddit. Any people who are from Puerto Rico or have spent time there that could tell me if this is a way beer is classified there? Or anyone at all have any idea what he's talking about? Since Spanish is his first language, we've had a little trouble with translating Spanish words to English and them not having the same connotations or meanings. I'm trying to figure out if he's confused or just making shit up
Edit:
I asked more questions today and he said the third type isn't brown, it's artisanal/craft (but later said the third type is 'black'.) he said it's not types exactly, and implied it's more of a vibe. Green beers are refreshing and cooling, yellow beers make you feel heavy and warm.
I'm going to assume he heard someone say a thing once and has turned it into facts in his head.
