Beer in Mexico

As anyone who has been to Mexico knows, beer is everywhere - cantinas, restaurants, OXXOs, swim-up bars - everywhere. But the beer (or cerveza, as they are lovingly referred to by the locals) of Mexico are a pretty week affair, with alcohol content ranging from about 3.0 to 4.5% (oh, watch out there, big boy). Inexplicably, some of these brands even come in a light version. I feel the lightness of the beer is a contributing factor in tequila’s popularity in Mexico.
