Puerto Vallarta Trip: Mexican Beers

It's honeymoon time is Puerto Vallarta and I will probaly do more poolside, umbrella drink lounging than searching for odd ball beers. The list of Mexican beers is preety short and most can be obtained in Texas.

So far the list is short:

Leon Negra (Grupo Modelo), an amber lager
Sol
Bohemia, More on this later, but this beer is named after the Czech brewers that came to Mexico to teach brewing!
Carta Blanca
Superior
And my favorite from the baja, Pacifico! I first got hooked on Pacifico in college, when my friends and I would sit in lawn chairs in the middle of the Blanco River, enjoying it by the cooler full!

We also visited a few small Tequila factories, one was made from 100% Blue Agave and they used some real old school techniques.
