Presidente is Legitimately Good Beer
Published:
Nick Castellanos told everybody on Thursday that the MIAMI INCIDENT leading to his Phillies downfall started when he brought a Presidente into the clubhouse (slide 3) –
“After being taken out of a close ball game in front of my friends and family I brought a Presidente into the dugout. I then sat right next to Rob (Thomson) and let him know that too much slack in some areas and too tight of restrictions in others are not conducive to us winning. Shoutout to my teammates and Howie (?? I think Kendrick) for taking the beer out of my hands before I could take a sip (I appreciate you guys).“
Honestly, it’s good to see Presidente get some buzz up here because it is legitimately good. It’s a light-bodied pilsner from the Dominican Republic and they drink it throughout the Caribbean. If you ever go down there and stay at an all-inclusive resort, that’s ground zero for Presidente. Not necessarily in Mexico though, because they have their Modelo and Tecate and Corona and whatnot. You need to go somewhere like Punta Cana or the Bahamas and Presidente will be all over the place.
It’s a good beach beer because it’s crisp and refreshing. 5% ABV, no ripping headaches or next-day hangovers.* It’s definitely a session-type of beer for hot summer days, or you grab one out of the fridge after mowing the lawn. They sell Presidente in the United States, and you can find it at distributors around here, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it on tap. Have you?
Vamos a tomar unas cervezas!
