Last week, the Midnight Sons squeeeealed wheeeels up to Upper Fells in pursuit of awesome Latino bars.
Did we find them? You bet we did. I'm going to be dropping blog posts like bombshells this week, detailing our exploits.
One of the odd things we noticed: Coronas -- and other brands of bottled beer -- were served with a wedge of lime in the top, and a salt shaker on the side.
I'm used to lime and salt when slamming back tequila shots. But beer? Yes indeedy ...
The regulars would poke the lime wedge into their beers, pick up the salt shakers and add a pinch or two to the brews. My mouth puckered at the thought of it. I knew I had to try it, though. When in Rome and all.
So I ordered a Corona, shook the salt shaker a few times above my beer (getting as much on the bar as in the suds) and took a swig. It tasted OK -- like salty beer.
I wasn't sold on it. In fact, it vaguely reminded me of the heinous Bud Light & Clamato Chelada. Gack!
