Beer with ICE???

[Murpheeee]

I recently went to a chain Mexican theme restaurant - Don Pablos as I had a free entree coupon.

Anyway I ordered a Mexican beer - Dos Equis Amber.
It arrived in this huge chunky glass goblet that weighed a ton, with a load of ice cubes floating around in it.

I had never seen beer served with ice before......
It was actually pretty good as this is a pretty light refreshing beer anyway


Is ice served in beer a common occurence????

that's pretty stupid actually...
normally they deep freeze the cup.

i LOVE chilled cups... so sweet.

I've seen a lot of strange things at Mexican resturants.

you are not supposed to serve beer in ice, not even root beer.

 

[Murpheeee]

the thought of it sounds weird, and I am sure in most beers it would be

tasted pretty good in this one though

i'd have sent it back and asked the wtf they were thinking.

Beer with ice is teh nasty.


Btw.. they're just scamming you. Beer + ice in a cup equals less beer.

I have never been served beer with ice.. but I have done it before myself. If a beer is warm and I want to drink it, I prefer to drink it with ice then drike it warm
