Sol
6 May 2005
Sol seems to be very trendy at the moment. I even had one customer who was so shocked that we didn’t serve it that he settled for a glass of water instead. To be honest, I can’t see what the fuss is about. It’s nice, and would make a great beer to down at a summer barbecue, but it could easily be Corona in a different bottle. If you like your beer weak and mexican though, you might as well give it a try.
As with Corona, you’re supposed to put a wedge of lime in the top of the bottle. A lot of people think the lime has to do with flavour, a bit like a lager & lime in the UK, but I heard a nice story from a customer recently that I like to use whenever anyone asks. He claimed that originally Mexican people put lime or lemon in the neck of their beer bottles because the acidity stopped flies from landing on the mouth.
