My faves are the Mexican beers, usually Tecate in the can. Although last trip I fell for Corona bottles. Yummmmm, after a hard day, a nice shower and then an ice cold cerveza from an ice chest, what a great combo....My faves are:
Tecate
XX Dos Equis Amber
Corona
Carta Blanca
Modelo

Then in the winter, i bring in the heavier beers, Newcastle, Bass, etc......

what about you guys?

For Mexican beer I will have to say,
Bohemia

In the colder months my good friends from Austria have made some
Mulled Wine which is amazing smile

Well since you brought it up, we have a drink we concocted for when it's real hot: bourbon, preferably Jim Beam, with soda water and lime and lot's of ice! Normally i like my whiskey neat, but this is killer in the heat!

Tecate without a doubt. Plucked from a cooler full of ice, it tastes like cold Tecate. Plucked from that same cooler five days later, and now full of mostly warm water, it still tastes like Tecate. Tried this once with Simpler Times from Trader Joe's and warm it was downright undrinkable.

Mongo from Port Brewing is good.
Probably not the best "session" beer since it is a strong IPA smile

Do you prefer cans or bottles? This is the only beer that I prefer in the can. Nothing like a tecate from the coller full of ice at the end of a hard desert day! Ahhhhhhh.......

Cans, no question. They're less likely to break if you hit the whumps too hard with the cooler in the truck, and they make great reusable targets for shooting the next day.

Weather was excellent, high 80's during the days, 50's at night, great sleeping weather, very calm. Incredible stars at night and the clearest Milky Way I've seen in a while. Great weekend, stayed with Tecate due to warm weather, was a good call!

Getting ready for my next "expedition" Oh, btw Beer: Hand down. Fresh brewed non pastorized Stone beer from a tap filled guzzler
