No...Beer here is shit. I did see Corona in the store, but opted for some
Irish Micro Brew instead. Most places that sell beer just sell "beer". It's
like in movies when they go up to the bar and order a "beer" instead of a
Bud or a Guiness or something. Literally, they have 1 beer they sell.
Morreti seems to be most popular for being the "one".

I speak Brazilian Portuguese. I lived in Sao Paulo for a year in a past
life. The company I worked for wanted us all to speak the language so they
sent us to an immersion school. That and partying like a rock star every
night there got me a lot of practice. I lived in Buenos Aires for 8 months
after, but they were more concerned that I get the work done than having me
speak the language. I got by ok, but "castillano" is different from the
tex-mex spanish I grew up hearing. They make you very aware of it too.
