I used to enjoy Newcastle (don't judge me!) but then about a year ago or so, they changed it. started brewing it in the US and changed the recipe for the American palate. Yuck. Can't stand the new version. That was a go to for me. I had it a while back and it was thin and sharp tasting .. blech |

Then there's the factor that even the cheapest bloody mary tastes better than the rest when you're on (were on) a jet heading to vacation. Once you pass through the doors at an airport, the rules of beer and drinking change drastically. Until you exit the destination airport, normal expectations and acceptable thresholds do not apply. It is like it is another dimension. True. When I travel I like to drink the local beer. When that's Austria or Czech Republic or Munich, I know I'm in for some good stuff. In Mexico or the Caribbean, there is a lot of gold, fizzy beer and it's great while you're there. But even if I go to Texas or Arizona or Colorado or Georgia, give me the local stuff. |

I'm guessing AB is just playing on brand recognition among the Hispanic community. They just don't really care if it's an accurate rendition! Sign a big-name Dominican spokesperson... Profit!
