I imagine that like most people you understand (without thinking) that they are asking you to go to a restaurant that serves food in the same general style as those in Mexico (however accurate it may or may not be).<br /><br />My point is that using a country’s name is common shorthand for the general qualities of the products that come from it. I could have called this batch “A minimally hopped low gravity pale beer that was well attenuated with a top fermenting yeast which produces above-threshold levels of esters and phenols in a similar style to some beers brewed in Belgium.” but that is the same thing most people would get from calling it a “Belgian Single.”The Mad Fermentationist (Mike)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07379932734747507258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-61710351087213338442011-08-12T10:26:23.562-04:002011-08-12T10:26:23.562-04:00Wow,
