I have very strict parameters on the type of beer I drink.

If you can pour it, I can drink it.

Cheers....

Chopa presente!!!

Bohemia is the better beer.
Presidente is for chopos, tourists and people who love the ads for the presidente brew...
If that beer is not ice cold it reveals its whole sh**** flavour.
Salud!

President Light

This one works for me..You really can't tell the difference from Regular Presidente leaving me wondering how light it is from the Regular stuff..

Oh no, the light stuff has a higher maize content, and less malt in the wort. This makes it a lot sweeter, and blander, like Brahma. Beer is supposed to have a nice bitter taste. Normal Presidente all the way for me!

Presidente is the best, Bohemia is a good number two. Brahma and Becks I don't like at all.

All the beers here are pretty crappy. You HAVE to drink them ice cold or you would realize that. I would compare them with Miller, Milwaukee's Best, and Ice House, maybe even Budwiser and Coor's, in the States. Of couse I still drink them. I prefer Amber or Brahma I guess. Adding a lime helps too. And what awards has Presidente won? The beer company that dumps the most crap into the ocean? Smells great!

Wow. That's so way off. Firstly, Miller (Gen Draft) is so far from the beast (milwaulkee's best - btw the beast "tall boys" we lived on when I was at Clemson). These are Draught style beers, where Pres and Bohemia are Pilsners. Presidente is fabricated with higher quality ingredients in a more "savory" and technically advanced fermentation process than MOST american beers (the supermarket stuff). I love Sam Adams, but that is a Lager and the process and ingredients are more costly than Draught and Pilsners.

Both Presidente and Bohemia are brands developed and marketed by the Cervecer?a Dominicana which is a company of Grupo Le?n Jimenes. They take tremendous pride in these products and they are of a super high quality (no where near the white trash Milwaulkee's Best).
The brewing process, fermentation kettles and overall management process, is superior to MANY international breweries.

I'm certain if any memeber of the Leon or Jimenes families or other shareholders/employees would be beside themselves if they were aware they were compared to Milwaulkee's Best! lol

Brahma is not a Dominican beer, but a South American brand distributed by AmBev, Dominicana. Also, a lower-quality, inexpensively fermentation process targeted at those who like the idea of a "discount" beer in DR (3x100 pesos Grandes).
