Beer 128 - Negra Modelo



Sofia came home from UT for the weekend with her newish boyfriend Rigo. We spent the whole day shopping for gifts and items on various lists from Patricia's relatives in Colombia. Sofia wanted Colombian food for lunch so we went to Mi Pueblita restaurant for authentic Colombian food. I could easily feel a little out of place at Mi Pueblito as the only blue eyed blonde (ok grey) hair gringo in the busy restaurant but no one but me seems to notice.

Negra Modelo is brewed and bottled by Cerveceria Modelo in Mexico. It was bought and drunk at Mi Pueblita where I drank it with empanadas and arroz con pollo with fried plantains. Quite delicious.

The beer is a medium brown color in the glass and doesn't have much of a head when poured from the bottle.  It is dark brown in color and nicely, if rather delicately flavored.  It went well with the spicy green sauce that accopanied the empanadas.  The arroz con pollo was not spicy at all and the beer was light enough in flavor that it did not overwhelm the food and complimented it very well.
